Scribner Writers Series and Twayne's Author Series

Access has now been provided to Scribner Writers Series and Twayne's Author Series from the list of all databases. These links allow you to search these resources individually in their native interface. The native interfaces for these resources both contain a section of “Research Ideas” which students may find useful. In addition, both of these resources can also be searched individually or simultaneously through the Literature Resource Center. On the subject page for Literature, the entry for Literature Resource Center now contains links to these individual databases.

These literature resources were recently added to the Tennessee Electronic Library. Since APSU currently subscribes to Scribner Writers Series, we should receive a credit from Gale for the amount remaining on our subscription.

Please let me know if you have questions about these new additions.
