APSU has been registered for free access to Awesome Stories. Awesome Stories is a gathering place of primary-source information. Its purpose is to help individuals find original sources, located at national archives, libraries, universities, and government web sites.
For now, you will have to create an account to access the materials within this resource. Signing up for an account will provide you with an access code that you can share with students. The current system allows fifty people to simultaneously log-on with the same access code. See the message below for details about signing up for an account.
"We have approved your request for an AwesomeStories academic membership for Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee.
Once we have accepted a library, school, museum or other academic institution for group membership, as we accepted yours, other librarians or educators at that institution, or in that association, who would like free library or classroom access to AwesomeStories will need their own user names and passwords. Please let your colleagues know that. They simply have to sign-up at the academic member section of the site, http://www.awesomestories.com/ as you have done. We require EACH librarian and faculty member to have separate academic memberships so we can track the number of site users - that helps us to determine when we must increase server capacity. (AwesomeStories is an extremely fast-loading site, and we want to keep it that way!) Because we have already accepted your organization, there will be no delay in providing those requesting teachers and librarians their access codes - other than their position in the sign-up queue.
This free group membership extends to yourself and students, or individuals, physically studying or learning in your classroom or library. Our current system allows fifty people to simultaneously log-on with the same access codes. (We are working on IP recognition which, we hope, will soon eliminate that restriction.) "
