CONTENT: Alex's Catalogue of Electronic Texts is a collection of digital documents from American Literature, English Literature and Western Philosophy.
AESTHETICS: The site has a simple, user-friendly interface that is uncluttered.
ORGANIZATION: The collection of texts can be browsed or searched by author, title, or date of publication. A link back to the homepage is provided on each page.
REVIEW: Librarian Eric Morgan created this Web site as a "labor of love." Not just a typical collection of e-texts, it has some unique features. Users not only can locate the text by author or title, but they also can search the content of the selections as well by clicking on the "Use Concordance" link. Content can be searched across several texts simultaneously by locating all the works by a particular author and then clicking on the "Use Concordance" link. There is a nifty little feature that creates .pdf (portable document format) files "on the fly." This allows users to create simply formatted files that can be printed and read offline. Included is a download section where complete sets of collections can be downloaded with the tools for further exploration offline.
