Trial Database for Women Writers Project Online...

The Savage Library is pleased to announce a trial for the Women's Writers Online database,
http://www.wwp.brown.edu/texts/wwoentry.html, from Brown University. From the database website:

The Brown University Women Writers Project has been working for over fifteen years on building an electronic collection of early women's writing, and on researching the complex issues involved in representing early printed texts in digital form. As the publisher of Women Writers Online, the WWP now supports the work of innumerable faculty, students, and readers at hundreds of institutions from around the world, by providing access to rare materials by women that otherwise would go unread and untaught.

Please let Jeremy Nelson know what you think of this resource. This trial database is only available from Western State Campus computers and will last until March 1st.
