Three New Library E-Resources Everyone Should Know About

	Wellesley Index to Victorian Periodicals on CD-ROM The Wellesley Index to Victorian Periodicals, 1824-1900 is the most important bibliographic reference work on 43 key nineteenth century British periodicals ever created or conceived. In its coverage of literature, religion, politics, social sciences, political economy, the arts and women's writing, the Wellesley Index is indispensable for any study  of the nineteenth century. In a period when the bulk of published articles were anonymous, the Index identifies over 90% of the authors making it an essential research tool. The Library now owns the Index on CD. The CD incorporates extensive corrections and additions to the print edition including extra periodicals and material published in the Victorian Periodicals Review.  Users can now search this wealth of information by date, author, title and other criteria with ease.
