Description:
- Columbia Granger's World of Poetry -
For over a century, Granger's® has been the definitive source in English for
locating a poem in anthologies on library shelves. First published in 1904,
/The Columbia Granger's® Index to Poetry/ is now in its 13th edition. In
1999, Granger's went online as /The Columbia Granger's World of Poetry/.
Granger's now provides access to 210,000 full text poems and 450,000
citations, as well as several new sets of critical context essays. Updates
of additional poetry and auxiliary content will continue; plus we will
launch an extensively rebuilt version of the current site later this summer. Look for the following enhancements:
- Improved searching and browsing, enabling easy, intuitive searching of
poets and poetry
- Simpler access to the most studied longer works of poetry and all their
parts
- Poem Vs. Poem -- Compare two separate poems side-by-side
- Direct searching of biographies, commentaries and critical context,
including their content
- Browsable and searchable lists of schools of poetry and eras,
ethnicities/nationalities, and language
- Audio readings of the 100 most beloved and studied poems
- On the home screen, Poet's Book of Days calendar, Quote of the Day, and
Poetry Trivia
- Columbia Gazetteer of the World -
The definition of the term gazetteer, when used in a geographical sense, is
a "geographical index or dictionary." The comprehensive gazetteer, such as
The Columbia Gazetteer of the World, is an encyclopedia of geographical
places and features. In selecting the entries, the overriding goal was to
provide maximum coverage of places and features, while achieving a balanced
profile of each country. The criteria for including places are population
threshholds, reflecting differing national environments; area size;
political administrative frameworks; and economic, political, and cultural
significance.
The Columbia Gazetteer of the World serves also as a unique guide to the
ways in which names offer insight into the political, cultural, religious,
and aesthetic meanings that people ascribe to particular environments, and
in which the values of places change. The dynamism of the world system since
World War II is graphically illustrated by changed names for both renewed
and pre-existing places. To this welter of old, new, and changed
place-names, the Columbia Gazetteer provides a definitive and reliable
guide. In Summer 2007, we plan to launch an extensively redesigned site,
which will offer:
- Unique world encyclopedia with 170,000 entries
- Search by geographic coordinates
- Historical US Census Data to the present, other areas of the world to
follow
- Sort and organize your search results on screen
- Download search results to Excel or GIS compatible GML
- Columbia International Affairs Online -
Columbia International Affairs Online /(CIAO) is the most comprehensive
source for theory and research in international affairs. It publishes a wide
range of scholarship from 1991 onward that includes working papers from
university research institutes, occasional papers series from NGOs,
foundation-funded research projects, proceedings from conferences,
books, journals and policy briefs. Each month, leading academic and research
institutions, publishers, government agencies and journals contribute their
conference proceedings and works on international affairs to our site. We
now have approximately 350,000 pages to browse and search as well as provide
timely special features, including a section of original case studies
written by leading scholars,
and a special focus each
month, such as June's: "Suicide Terrorism."
