9. Observations about Literature Online
Many works in the public domain are included in
this database (esp. English literature). LION is a
useful resource for locating primary sources (just

Many primary works include page breaks / page
numbers so that users can cite their sources and
locate information in print volumes, if necessary.
The information for a complete citation is

12. More Comments
Database does not support variant spellings
(e.g., “Duchess of Malfi” is listed under its Old
English name, “The Dutchesse of Malfy”). Many texts
are reproduced with original spelling and syntax.
Recommended access points: keyword or author.
Database does not contain a large number of full-
text, secondary (critical) sources.
Literature Online would best be used in conjunction
with other databases (Literature Resource Center
and Academic Search Complete).
