Databases

Core Databases

MLA International Bibliography and Literary Reference Center cover a wide variety of English and literature topics. MLA has more of an emphasis on peer-reviewed articles than LRC, which mixes those articles with book chapters and reference material.

Citation Index

The next database is a citation index. It links together articles that cite each other, which are likely to be on similar topics.

Additional Databases

These databases are on multiple subjects but have good coverage of scholarship on literature.
