Although ORU is a subscribing institution,
The Literary Encyclopedia database
is unique in that
1) you are required to
set up a personal "membership"
account in order to gain access
to the full articles
and
2) you are required to
use your ORU email when setting
up the account. (There
is no charge to you for using
this database when you register
with your ORU email.)
On The Literary Encyclopedia
database page, click Login
in the left menu.

| Your
Bookshelf (Personal Account) |
|
Once the membership registration
(for full text access) is set up,
it enables personal account functions
similar to those in other ORU databases
such as EBSCOhost's folder and ebrary's
bookshelf.
For example, the Bookshelves application
in The Literary Encyclopedia allows
you to "save entries to a personal
bookshelf, put together a collection
of entries for later reference,
compile reading lists for a class
or book group, or simply save collections
of your favorite books and authors."
For more information or to make
and view bookshelves, after you
complete the registration and activation
process, go to your Personal Homepage
within in The Literary Encyclopedia.
| To Access
Your Homepage:
- Log in at the start of
your session.
- Click Your account
in the left menu.
- Scroll to the Bookshelves
and Saved Searches section.
