To find articles, search this way in Literature Resources from Gale:

• Name of Work: A & P
• Person, By or About: Updike

In Literary Reference Center Plus*:

• DE "A & P (Short story)"

*Few articles related solely to A & P in this database. However, it's still a good source for articles on Updike's writing and style.

In Literature Criticism Online:

• Updike in "Named Author"

For Story of An Hour, use similar search strategies, substituting Story of An Hour as the title and Chopin as the author.

Within an article, use Ctrl-F to search for a particular word, name or term, e.g. Sammy or A & P or plot.

Literary Criticism articles can be accessed through the Valencia library databases.

Literary criticism articles are sometimes also compiled in books that can be found through the library catalog. Some books are available in print while others may be available electronically.

You can look for videos in the library catalog, too. Limit to audiovisual material for DVDs and streaming videos.

Remember that although many of the library databases provide MLA citations for electronic sources, it is your responsibility as a student to ensure that all of your citations are correct. 

Be sure to compare any database generated citations to the library's MLA guides online (link below), the official MLA Handbook (located at the second floor Reference Desk), or your Little Seagull Handbook.
