Quick Start for Research in Literature

Search multiple literature databases with a single search. See the Humanities Quick Search box below. For more advanced options and more refined results, use a specialty database, such as the ones below.

This is only a brief outline. Explore this guide, contact me, or contact your professor for more information on conducting in-depth research.

Alumni Library Catalog
Search the library book catalog for print and online copies of the author's work or book-length critical analysis of that author.
Literature Resources from Gale
a basic Reference source - critical overviews and selected criticism on a particular author, giving a grounding in who the author is and what they were known for.
JSTOR
a large, interdisciplinary collection of journal articles - additional in-depth, scholarly treatments of specific works or themes in that author's output.
