Abstract

The electronic publication of literature on websites and blogs represents a new era of literary expression and enhanced democratization of literary culture. Yet though web-based publishing has expanded the availability of literary works, individual works can only be accessed through browsing of individual publications or known-item web searching for specific works and/or authors. Increasing numbers of print journals publish works only their websites, and it is undetermined how extensively they index these online-only works with the rest of their content. To address this issue, we received an IMLS National Leadership Planning grant for 2013 to investigate the current discoverability ofonline-only or “born digital” poetry, and develop plans for indexing online-only poetical works.
