Q. I need help finding literary criticism and scholarly journal articles for my literature paper. How do I get started?

To find databases containing articles about works of literature:

1. Go to the Library Homepage
2. Find "Databases by Subject"
3. Select "English" from the drop-down menu as seen in the image below.

The resulting page is a list of databases useful for literary research. Bloom's Literature and For Students are great places to start.

Another great place to start is our English 1102 Online Research Guide. This guide has search tips for literary criticism, a detailed list of databases, and a research strategy to help you along the way.

For more help, ask a librarian.
