Information Centre : Subscription Information
Literature Online is a virtual library containing over 350,000 literary texts together with full-text journals, author biographies and other critical and reference resources. Since its launch in 1996, it has become established as the first port of call both for advanced researchers, looking for accurate online versions of authoritative print texts, and for students who require trustworthy critical sources on set texts and authors.
All subscribers have access to Literature Online's Core Collection, and your institution may also have access to additional collections as premium modules. The premium modules are fully integrated with Literature Online: texts and records appear alongside Core Collection materials in Quick Search and other search results, and in Complete Contents. Users can also access the premium modules via their stand-alone interfaces, by following the Individual Collections link from the left-hand toolbar.
