Drama Online trial now running

We currently have access to a 90 day trial of the Drama Online Beta site.  This will be available until the 25th May and the resource includes scripts from both class and contemporary authors.  The link to access the site is as follows:  http://www.dramaonlinelibrary.com/.

Please do note the following points below:

-          The trial access is to the Beta site of Drama Online, so this is NOT the final launch site.

-          Therefore, there may be some bugs on the site. If there is anything in particular that does not seem to be functioning properly, please let us know and we can check with the Publisher whether this is a bug on the Beta site or not.

-          Not all the content will be on the Beta site. Drama Online will be launching this Spring with approx. 500 titles from the complete title list, and the Beta site currently has about 390 titles uploaded at the moment. The complete 2013 list will be added over the course of the coming months. You will also see that the Arden Shakespeare titles are not yet on the Beta site – the Publisher is just at the moment making some changes to fix some bugs around the scholarly notes. These will be available on the launch of the platform if not at some point during the Beta site trial.  

Please contact Maree Green if you have any feedback/comments on this resource: m.e.green@salford.ac.uk.
