To commemorate the bicentennial anniversary of Mary Shelley’s classic Frankenstein (1818) and to participate in a global celebration of the author and her creation, Dr. JoEllen DeLucia has specifically designed a course for students at Central Michigan University. Aparna Zambare, English Bibliographer, has created this resource guide to provide research support for students enrolled in the course. Moreover, the course and celebration also gives us, as Dr. DeLucia rightly points out, "once in a lifetime chance" to display the Frankenstein collection that the CMU Libraries own and have access to.
