Orlando Database Trial
TU Libraries is currently trialing Orlando: Women's Writing in the British Isles from the Beginnings to the Present.
Orlando is devoted to six centuries of women's writing in the British Isles. Biographical and critical accounts for over 1,000 women are provided. Select non-British or international women writers, and British and international men, whose writing was an important, sometimes a shaping, element in a particular writing climate are also included.
In addition, the database offers "entries on authors' lives and writing careers, contextual material, timelines, internal links and bibliographies. Entries are tagged, enabling searchers to focus not only on author, date and place but also on such issues as genre, intertextuality, and relations with publishers."
The trial will last through September.
