Re: GRANGER'S INDEX TO POETRY ON CD-ROM

We have been using Granger's Index to Poetry on CD-ROM for 3 years and
find it a valuable reference tool. The obvious advantage is that it allows
students access to thousands of poems which might not be found in a
library's anthology collection, but we have found that it's also very
good for documenting suspected plagarism.  One of the search functions is
to enter words found in a poem.  Very often teachers are able to find the
original sources of their students' "original" creations.
