[CASL-L] JSTOR vs Literary Reference Center

[Earnshaw,Tracy]

Dear Colleagues,
I currently subscribe to EBSCO's Literary Reference Center but I am looking for a cheaper option.  LRC is over $3600 per year.  We use it every spring when Juniors need literary criticism for their American authors project.  I hate spending that much on a database that is used by one subject for one project.  However, I have not found another source for literary criticism.  Background information on authors is freely available, as are reviews, but full-blown critical essays are what the English teachers need.  I have the print series Novels for Students, Poetry for Students, etc. from Gale but they do not cover all of the authors I need.  Does anyone subscribe to JSTOR, and if you do, do you know if it contains literary journals in which students can find criticism?

Thanks,
