Look for articles both in; OneSearch, by clicking on the filter called "Peer Reviewed Articles" after completing a search, and through our databases, where we have several specific to literature. You should be checking both places to make sure you have sufficiently covered all bases.
The databases described below should be checked individually, each with slightly different contents and focus, to see if they include articles on your topic.
MLA Bibliography is a comprehensive database focused on language and literature.
These two databases are often described together. Both are multi-disciplinary collections of scholarly journal articles and some ebooks.
They are unique because they allow one to do full text searching of articles. This means that if you are researching a phrase or set of text these databases will help find who has written about it.
JSTOR does not include the most recent material (3-5 years)
Project Muse is a geared to humanities journal articles in fields of literature and criticism.
Both contain articles that are full text, meaning there is no "Find It" button
You can cross-search Gale's literature collections from: Literature Resource Center, Literature Criticism Online; LitFinder. MLA International Bibliography and more.
