Re: [LM_NET] EBSCO's Literature Reference Center

[Margaret T Owens <powens2@JUNO.COM>]

Our English department is in favor of  any book, database, anything that
will help the students experience and understand literature.  We have
several databases, including Gale Literature Resource Center, through our
local consortium.

We think that reading other views and interpretations will help the
students to focus their own thinking, not suppress it.

Just our 2 cents.
