NEW!  The Library now subscribes to two new comprehensive databases for English literature. These two resources are excellent places to begin your research.

Literature Resource Center
Includes the full text of articles from the Dictionary of Literary Biography and other biographical and critical compilations about authors, along with journal articles and book chapters about literary works and topics. Strongest for English and American literature, but includes much on other literatures.

LiON - Literature Online
The "Criticism and Reference" search includes the Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature and references from articles and books. Many cited journals are available in full text. LION also includes the full text of many works from American and British literature.

Library Resources

Request that the Library buy a book, journal, or database.

MLA Bibliography
Indexes literature studies (all languages and periods), linguistics, and folklore from journals, books, chapters in books, and dissertations. Includes articles and many book chapters. Some links to full text. Coverage: 1963-present.

Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature (ABELL)
