Changing Formats
You may have noticed some changes to the library's main web page in the past few days. For many years, students have been relying on many thick volumes of Gale Literary Criticism to complete Literature assignments. Those days are nearing an end at our library. The full text information will still be available, just the delivery has changed. In place of the over 300 volumes in one series, we now have a link on our main page to Literature Criticism Online. This not only saves space on the library shelves, which we need very badly, but it also allows the information to be available to anyone with a Mary H. Weir Library Card and an Internet connected computer at any hour of the day or night. It makes searching extremely easy. One search covers multiple volumes. Of course the library's computers can also be used to access the information, and the staff will gladly provide any needed help. This change has also allowed us to add some resources that we had not made available in the past. They include Children's Literature Review and Shakespearean Criticism, both of which will be great additions to our collection.
