Digital Loeb Classical Library

At CANE, we’re always trying to enhance your teaching and learning experience.  That’s why we are now offering our members access to the Loeb Classical Library On-Line.  Now you have access to all the translations you know, and can access them easily via our website.  Have a pesky problem with a passage, and the notes in the textbook ignore it (as happens all too frequently)?  You can look up the translation and then explain it to your students – or discount Loeb’s version and decide that the way you had originally thought it should be translated was right after all!  This resource is especially helpful for Greek, since trying to find things on Perseus in Greek can bring on a major anxiety attack – and they don’t have Babrius there, anyway.
Using the Loeb does take a bit of practice, but there are 2 articles that will help greatly:  Resource Review: Digital Loeb Classical Library https://classicslibrarian.wordpress.com/2014/10/14/resource-review-digital-loeb-classical-library/     The other is available through JStor: Review Essay: On First Looking into the Digital Loeb Classical Library:  HelmaDik,The Classical Journal, Vol. 110, No. 4 (April-May 2015), pp. 493-500 .  If you want the password for either or both JStor and Loeb, and your membership is paid up (2015-2016 – membership form on the website), email me  treasurer@caneweb.org and I will send the password to you.  Happy hunting!
