Q. What is the best database to use to find full text scholarly articles in literature?

Hola!

Thanks for your question. The Nancy Thompson Library and Learning Commons provides access to a number of excellent databases for literature, literary criticism, and author biographies.

You may access these databases by taking the following steps:

1. Go to the Library’s home page (http://libguides.kean.edu/Library).
    
2. Click Databases A-Z (inside the WorldCat Discovery box) to access the Databases page.
    
3. Click the All Subjects button toward the top left corner of the screen, then scroll down and click Literature/Literary Criticism, which will lead you to a list of databases recommended for access to articles on literature and literary criticism.
    
4. Click a database name to access and begin searching for articles. For instance, the following databases are listed as "Best Bets" and will enable you to access full-text scholarly articles:
    
   • Literature Resource Center (Gale Cengage Learning) 
      
   • Arts & Humanities Database (ProQuest)
      
   • MLA International Bibliography (EBSCOhost) 

I hope that this helps! For additional assistance, please contact a reference librarian:
