Starting this month, CPCC Libraries will be profiling a different electronic resource every month. For September, our featured resource is Literature Resource Center. Literature Resource Center is an excellent source for authoritative information about literature and authors. It features reviews of literary works, literary criticism, author biographies and full-text entries of thousands of poems, short stories and plays. Literature Resource Center is located in the Research Databases area of the library website.
Here are just a few of the items found in Literature Resource Center:
The library has also put together an online video tutorial with instructions on using this resource. This tutorial and others are located in the Quick Tutorials section of our website.
CPCC students, faculty and staff now have free, online access to MyiLibrary eAudio Books, a collection of approximately 1300 audio books, which are compatible with most iPods and MP3 devices. The entire collection focuses primarily on language learning audio books, classic literature, history, and biography. A sampling of the available titles include Julia Child’s My Life in France, Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, and Stephen King’s Shawshank Redemption. Languages learning titles include Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
MyiLibrary is always available through the Research Databases section of our website. Need help? Watch a video tutorial on how to download and transfer an eAudiobook to an iPod.
