MLA International Bibliography
(Modern Language Association)
selected fulltext;For all topics related to literature and language, and including criticism, foreign language, film, drama—but includes no abstracts. Of special benefit in this database is the option of limiting a search by books and/or book chapters (at the “Publication Type” limiter found on the left-hand side of the screen. Often this will allow you to find parts of scholarly books on a topic in addition to the articles that most databases locate. Expect a larger number of results than some other databases but with decisions to make without the added information given in abstracts. |

Google Scholar (Advanced Search)
The Google Scholar search tool allows you to search for individual published journal articles (rather than web pages), book sections and published organization reports which may extend beyond some of the more precisely organized research tools listed above. The results of a Google Scholar search will usually be less clearly organized than what is available in academic library databases, and will seldom have helpful abstracts or subject terms. This can make its use more time consuming and frustrating than research databases, but it is nonetheless a vital supplement to the formal article databases. Full text links are sometimes available. It is advisable to use many of the tools on this advanced search page: the exact phrase search line, the search lines for Author, for Publication (which could include even selected words in a journal title, such as “theory”, “Melville”, “science fiction”), and the boxes for date limit. |
