Contemporary Authors Database

The database that I evaluated was called, Gale Literary Authors. This database can be used to find full text works by contemporary authors, literary criticism, and literary biographies. By simply filling out any of the Author's name, title of work, their nationality, the genre of the work, a piece of the text or birth/death year (any one of those things), you will get a result. Gale Literary Authors is not based on opinion, but rather is more of a search engine for all things regarding contemporary literature. Thankfully, it also offers help on the left side of the database, as well as search tips, which I assume come in handy when one can not seem to find what the works or authors one is looking for.
