Library Guides: English Subject Guide: Find Articles

Finding articles

Critical analyses of literature can appear in books and book chapters, and they are also often published in academic journals.

Search the library's licensed databases first. These provide the most compreshensive collection of full text articles and indexed articles. Indexed means you can see an article's information and maybe an abstract, and then request it through Interlibrary Loan.
