Literature Databases

 

This tutorial explores electronic databases covering the subject of Literature.  “Real-life” search examples using these databases are demonstrated. 

 

These databases are very useful for English class assignments – you can find information on authors, criticism on works of literature, plot summaries, and literary terms. 

 

The tutorial is presented in four sections:

 

• Part 1 is an Introduction and Overview of the databases, including how to access them on and off campus.
• Part 2 explores the Literature Resource Center, our most popular literature database.
• Part 3 explores MagillOnLiterature Plus, another extensive literature database.
• Part 4 demonstrates MLA International Bibliography and introduces the remainder of the Literature databases.
