Index Artist Profile
I'd like to propose that the journal 'Artist Profile' be indexed directly from the provider. Artist Profile is an essential journal for arts researchers in Australia, and it would be very valuable to have it be discoverable in our system rather than having users having to search directly in their website.

Add TGC Books Play Collection
A collection from TGC Books, the largest independent trade publisher of dramatic literature in North America.
The collection includes 18 winners of the Pulitzer Prize in Drama, and also boasts a diverse range of voices which are often overlooked in less contemporary collections.
Our drama students are always looking for newer plays available in a digital format - and with the exception of this collection, the CZ in Alma has most of the collections available from Drama Online. This would be a welcome addition.
Many thanks,
Oliviahttps://www.dramaonlinelibrary.com/tcg-books-play-collection
