Identifying Additional Databases to Use

Explore the library's database collection and see other databases that may be useful for your topic.

After logging in via Atlas, click on Search the Library and then go to Databases by Subject.

You will see a list of subject categories that you can expand. Within each category is a list of databases with content in that subject area.


Tips:

  • Use the blue "i" icon to find out more about each database's content.
  • Most good research involves using more than one source. Don't be discouraged if the first database you try does not yield enough results.

 

Reference Source

Gale Virtual Reference Library can give you a basic definition of a particular literary theory, such as Realism, more information on particular literary themes, and overviews of particular works.

Finding Books and Ebooks

To find books and ebooks use the library catalog. Limit to books or ebooks. For print books also limit to West.

MLA Guides online

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.
