  1. Eighteenth Century Collections Online The World’s Largest Scholarly Research Community

  2. Eighteenth Century Collections Online A university that does not have ECCO is not a serious player in eighteenth-century British and American studies—in literature or in anything else. Any institution giving graduate degrees in eighteenth-century subjects reduces itself to below minor-league status if it does not provide ECCO to its students—and is putting its publishing faculty at a crippling disadvantage. Rob Hume English Professor- Penn State University

Eighteenth Century Collections Online ECCO is: • Widely held with over 500 institutions have access across the globe • Considered essential for 18th Century studies • VERY cross-disciplinary in nature; appeals to all departments • “ECCO Native” PhD’s • Scholarly standard: 18th century research must apply ECCO to ensure thoroughness, comprehensiveness, and completeness • Used as a recruiting tool for top faculty and graduate students • Allows researchers to undertake previously unfeasible projects • Comprehensive – inclusion policy driven by ESTC • Both students, faculty and library staff find the product useful for a wide range of research projects • Persistent URL’s for every page of the collection facilitate inclusion in e-course packs and bookmarking • Identification & comparison of multiple editions of the same work • Learn what contemporaries wrote about each other’s works
