New MLA Interface

MLA and Literature Resources from Gale, formerly Literature Resource Center, have a new search interface allowing the searching of the available full-text Gale literary resources, including reference works, journals, and magazines, and MLA at the same time.  Unfortunately, because the FindIt! links in MLA are not working, a problem Gale is attempting to resolve, whenever the text of a periodical is not available, you must consult Journals to see if the periodical is available electronically or in print.  Please send any questions or comments you have about this new interface to Michael Adams.
