Dear
Dear [Student/Faculty Member/Patron],
I would like to take a moment to tell you about Poetry & Short Story Reference Center, a valuable online research tool that you can access in the library or at home. Poetry & Short Story Reference Center contains the following content:
• Thousands of full-text poems, short stories and dramatic works
• Hundreds of audio recordings, including podcasts from The Poetry Foundation
• High-quality videos from Academy of American Poets and MacNeil/Lehrer Productions
• Detailed explications of both classic and contemporary poems
• A collection of e-books focused on poetry, drama and short stories
• Poetry Showcases from The Paris Review highlighting current and emerging writers and their works
The database is very easy to use. Students can search by keyword, author, title, poem or short story. In addition, they can browse alphabetically by poem, short story, poets and authors, poetic forms and techniques, themes, literary time periods and movements. The database also includes:
• Lesson plans aligned to NCTE and Common Core curriculum standards
• Infographics depicting short story plot points and poetry word clouds
• Text-to-Speech for HTML articles to help auditory learners, struggling readers and those developing English language proficiency
• Rich multimedia — including images, videos and audio recordings — to enhance content delivery and increase student engagement
• Citation tool to help students format references as well as direct export to NoodleTools, EasyBib and other bibliographic management software programs
• Advanced search with Lexile® Reading Level and page length limiters to help address text complexity requirements
• Personal folders for saving and sharing content
• Literary glossary
To begin using Poetry & Short Story Reference Center, please go to the library website’s databases page. If accessing the database remotely, you may be prompted for a User ID (e.g., your student ID or library card number) and a PIN/password.
Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions about Poetry & Short Story Reference Center or any of the library’s online resources.
