New version of Literature Online (LION)

The new, improved interface for Literature Online (LION) is now live. Many Literature Online users may already have taken a look, but if you've not yet tried the new interface you can do so here: http://literature.proquest.com 

It has a new look, and an improved search engine, but still features all of the existing content. 

Literature Online includes over 350,000 works of poetry, prose and drama from the 8th to the 21st Century with a huge library of critical and reference material, including thousands of literary articles, essays, biographies and encyclopaedia entries.

The 'old' version of Literature Online will be switched off soon.
