The IPL Literary Criticism Collection contains critical and biographical websites about authors and their works that can be browsed by author, by title, or by nationality and literary period.
The collection is not inclusive of all the work on the web, nor does it plan to be. The sites are selected with some thought to their overall usefulness.
"By Guy Gilchrist, Syndicated Cartoonist and Children's Book Author
and
Joyce Melton Pagés, Ed.D.
Editor's Note: Guy Gilchrist is the author (or co-author with his brother) of the Nancy comic strip, the Muppets comic strip, and several other popular comic strips. In addition, he has written over forty children's books. In honor of National Cartoonist's Day, Guy Gilchrist has written an article to help children learn how writers get their ideas. Teachers and parents may want to share parts of Mr. Gilchrist's article with children. I have written the introduction to Mr. Gilchrist's article. I also wrote the section which follows his article about helping children find ideas to write about. -JMP"
S.O.S. for Information Literacy is a dynamic web-based multimedia resource that includes lesson plans, handouts, presentations, videos and other resources to enhance the teaching of information literacy.
"The basic idea is that teachers and librarians can upload and share all of their lessons by re-creating them (cutting and pasting sometimes) online and then sharing them with the public. It's a bit more time consuming than just uploading your lessons, but that allows all of the lessons to be searchable and organized. I've been using it for awhile now, and while there aren't many library lessons out there now, there are more added every day. As an added bonus, for every 50 lessons you upload and share, you can get a $10 Starbucks gift card!"
