Database Highlight #18: We've got the Story for That

NaNoWriMo is chugging along and it’s time to get some inspiration! This week’s database highlight, Literary Reference Center Plus is chock-full of full-text stories, author biographies, literary criticism, and essays. Pair it with Poetry and Short Story Reference Center and you have everything you need to inspire you to write the next great American novel.

This rich full-text database provides a broad spectrum of information on thousands of authors and their works across literary disciplines and timeframes. It gives students, professors and researchers a foundation of literary reference works to meet their research needs. – from the vendor
