VG forges a collective effort of scholars who digitally interract with each other. VG contains biographical and critical analysis, pedagogical information, and histories of translation.

"I use Voices from the Gaps as a resource in all of my literature courses. Each semester I introduce approximately 84 students to the site. I use it to supplement the class and have found it to be an extremely rich way to add to information on the authors we study in class. Over the past few years, it has become an essential way to offer students a wide ranging exposure to many different authors. I also have it as a resource on my BlackBoard site; it is one of the pre-approved resources that students can use in any of their papers. The Department of English at LaGuardia Community College also features Voices from the Gaps on its website as a recommended resource."
