Finding Articles (Magazines / Journals)

Literary Reference Center (for Literature)
Indexes writings on literature. Much overlap with MLA International Bibliography, but indexes some reference sources and review sources that MLA International Bibliography does not.

MLA International Bibliography (for Literature)
The MLA International Bibliography indexes academic, scholarly books and articles on literature from all over the world, from the Middle Ages through the present. It does not include ancient literature. It does not generally include reviews of literary works in non-academic, general interest magazines or newspapers.rnrnWhen searching for writings about a particular work of literature, usually the best search to do is "author's-last-name AND keyword-from-title" - e.g., "melville AND moby". Then look at a relevant record: the work will be listed as a subject heading which is a hot link; click on it in order to obtain all records in the database that deal with that work of literature.
