Artemis is the Greek goddess of the hunt and the wilderness which makes her a fitting namesake for our latest electronic arrival: Gale Artemis: Literary Sources! Artemis lets you cross search all of Gale Cengage’s literary resources in one search. Through Artemis you can search all of these at once:
- LitFinder: full text poems, short stories, essays, speeches, plays and novels. LitFinder offers the written works of more than 80,000 authors;
- Literature Resource Center: full text articles, critical essays and reviews and overviews of frequently studied works;
- Gale Virtual Reference Library: access to a subset of electronic reference books that cover literature.
It is sort of like doing a Google search on literature but you get more relevant and authoritative results all with proper punctuation. It doesn’t matter if you are searching because you have an assignment, or if you are trying to remember the rest of that poem you can only recall snatches of – there is something for everyone.
I will leave you with a beauty of a quote about literature by the American author F. Scott Fitzgerald…
That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.
Sigh! You can access this resource from any library or from home through the Source using your library card number and password/PIN.
