The ETC serves many disciplines. The hypertext database, Perseus, includes Classical texts such as Homer's The Iliad and The Odyssey as well as over 4,000 vase, sculpture and coin images from collections around the world.
Scholars of American literature can access the works of Melville, Faulkner, Cather and other via the computer to do textual analysis with an efficiency unattainable with other media.
In addition to providing access to commercially available texts, ETC staff members assist users in identifying, locating and obtaining other electronic texts. Works from the Oxford Text Archives and ARTFL Database are also available through the Internet. A list of titles housed in the ETC is available in Room 509, at the Sterling Reference Desk or at YaleInfo.
