TRIAL: The Literary Encyclopedia
The Library has arranged a two week trial of The Literary Encyclopedia. Trial access ends on February 15th. (We previously trialled The Literary Encyclopedia in March 2007).
The Literary Encyclopedia is a collaborative global project that provides a description of most literary and cultural texts of scholarly interest in the English-speaking world, as well as informed guidance to critical reading, cultural topics and the historical context of cultural production. The publication is written and owned by a network comprising more than 2,280 contributors and distinguished editors who are mostly university teachers around the world. Since all articles are reviewed by qualified editors before publication, and our contributors have research publications in the area of their contribution, The Literary Encyclopedia can be cited with confidence in scholarly essays.
To access The Literary Encyclopedia, go to http://www.litencyc.com/ – if you are on-campus you will get immediate access, while if you are off-campus you will need to enter your university username and password for Institutional Login via the UK Federation (Shibboleth).
If you have any comments on this resource, please leave them by using the comments option below. You can choose the Anonymous comment option if you don’t have a Blogger account, but please provide us your name so we can follow-up any feedback you might have.

Trials of databases on EBSCOhost
If we adopt EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) it will make sense to switch any abstracting and indexing databases that we currently take through other platforms to EBSCO instead (where possible). This will mean that they will be searched by the main EDS search, rather than having to bring in search results through its federated search component.
We are currently trialling all of the databases that it would be possible to switch to EBSCO. These all renew at different times of the year. The first to renew (with links to try them on the EBSCO platform) are, next month:
AMED
British Nursing Index
Taking these on the EBSCO platform would reunite them with Cinahl and allow us to simultaneously search AMED, BNI and Cinahl, even without recourse to EBSCO Discovery Service.
The other databases that could be switched between now and this time next year are (with links to try them on the EBSCO platform):
Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals
Econlit
GeoRef and GeoRef In-Process
Global Health
Index to legal Periodical & Books
MLA International Bibliography
Philosopher’s Index
PsycInfo
PsycARTICLES
RILM Abstracts of Music Literature
If you use any of these databases please try them out on the EBSCO platform and please leave your comments below - specifying which database(s) you are referring to!
