What is Articles+?

Articles+ is not a database, per se.  More precisely, it provides an opportunity to perform an "umbrella search" across most of the databases that the library subscribes to.  To access it, you can choose Articles+ from the dropdown menu under "Search and Find" or you can use the main search box on the library's homepage (Articles+ results will show up on the left side of the screen, results from the library's catalog are on the right).

Articles+ can be a great tool for performing a quick search to see what's out there.  It's also a great tool for interdisciplinary research.  You can use the facets on the left side of the screen to limit your results to "Scholarly and Peer Reviewed" material.  You can also limit your search to "Newspaper Articles" and then further limit your results to a specific date range.  However, sometimes the results that you get back from this tool may be too broad.  In that case, you may need to use E-Research by Discipline to find a more subject-specific database.

• Articles Plus Index to hundreds of millions electronic resources, including journal and newspaper articles, e-books, dissertations, and media in campus library collections. more... less... Access: Off Campus Access is available for: UNC-Chapel Hill students, faculty, and staff; UNC Hospitals employees; UNC-Chapel Hill affiliated AHEC users.

The two most prominent bibliographic databases for research in literature, literary theory, and criticism, are  MLA International Bibliography and ABELL (Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature, which is searchable through ProQuest One Literature).  These databases index journal articles, dissertations, and book reviews to an almost exhaustive degree, as it covers both current and historical scholarship.  While these databases are focused on indexing relevant material (using keywords and subject headings), accessing these databases through the library's website will provide links to full text when available through UNC Libraries subscriptions.  For items where full text is not available online, ILL can provide a scan of our print copy or obtain a scan from another library.

• MLA International Bibliography A major index for literary criticism, linguistics, folklore & cultural studies. Includes articles from several thousand journals and series published worldwide. Also covers relevant monographs, working papers, proceedings, dissertations and bibliographies. Also searchable under "Criticism" within Literature Online. more... less... Access: Off Campus Access is available for: UNC-Chapel Hill students, faculty, and staff; UNC Hospitals employees; UNC-Chapel Hill affiliated AHEC users. Coverage: 1884-present Language: Various
• ProQuest One Literature Contains 3 million literature citations from thousands of journals, monographs, dissertations, and more than 500,000 primary works – including rare and obscure texts, multiple versions, and non-traditional sources like comics, theatre performances, and author readings. more... less... Access: Off Campus Access is available for: UNC-Chapel Hill students, faculty, and staff; UNC Hospitals employees; UNC-Chapel Hill affiliated AHEC users.

JSTOR and Project Muse are widely used, full-text databases of scholarly literature. 

JSTOR includes full-text articles covering humanities, arts, sciences, and business. It archives articles from the first volume of a journal up to the past three to five years. While we may have access to more recent articles through another database, it's important to be aware of this limitation in JSTOR.  Additionally, while you can search across disciplines, the selection of journals is limited, so it's recommended to use subject-specific databases for better coverage and indexing. Searching in JSTOR is done through keyword search only (there are not subject headings or controlled vocabulary to use for your search).  This may result in irrelevant hits (the term you search may appear in an article even if it's not the main topic of discussion), so precision searching and using advanced search tools will yield better results. 

Project MUSE includes full-text content covering humanities and social sciences.  It features full-text access to current and archival journals and ebooks from university presses and scholarly publishers. Like JSTOR, while it covers various disciplines, it's not exhaustive or specialized like discipline-specific databases, so it's advisable to use subject-specific databases if you need better coverage or indexing.  Project MUSE allows faceted browsing for refining search results.

ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global can provide useful bibliographies and models for structuring your own work.  Google Scholar provides the "cited by" feature which traces an article's topic from the time of publication forward.  When combined with an article's bibliography , you are then able to locate a project within a scholarly conversation.  Be sure to configure your Google Scholar account so that you gain full access to articles provided by the University Libraries. 

We have additional ECL databases , as well as hundreds covering other fields, on our E-Research by Discipline pages.

• JSTOR Provides an image archive of important scholarly journal literature in nearly all the humanities and social sciences disciplines, international and foreign areas studies, and many of the sciences. UNC patrons have access to extensive retrospective holdings of hundreds of journals, starting with the first issues. Excludes the most recent 2-5 years of currently available journals. more... less... Access: Off Campus Access is available for: UNC-Chapel Hill students, faculty, and staff; UNC Hospitals employees; UNC-Chapel Hill affiliated AHEC users. Coverage: Varies. Excludes most recent 2-5 years of currently available journals.
• Project Muse Provides access to important university press and other scholarly publisher e-journals mainly in the humanities and social science content for the scholarly community. more... less... Access: Off Campus Access is available for: UNC-Chapel Hill students, faculty, and staff; UNC Hospitals employees; UNC-Chapel Hill affiliated AHEC users. Coverage: Varies
• ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global Indexes US dissertations from 1861 with full text available from 1997; masters theses covered selectively including some full text. Citations for dissertations from 1980 include 350-word abstracts, while masters' theses from 1988 have 150-word abstracts. Selectively covers dissertations from Great Britain and other European universities for recent years. In addition to this database, the full text of the majority of UNC theses and dissertations from 2006, and all beginning in 2008, are freely available electronically from the UNC Library: Dissertations | Theses more... less... Access: Off Campus Access is available for: UNC-Chapel Hill students, faculty, and staff; UNC Hospitals employees; UNC-Chapel Hill affiliated AHEC users. Coverage: 1861 to present
• Google Scholar Enables you to search specifically for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research. Use Google Scholar to find articles from a wide variety of academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories and universities, as well as scholarly articles available across the web. more... less... Access: Off Campus Access is available for: UNC-Chapel Hill students, faculty, and staff; UNC Hospitals employees; UNC-Chapel Hill affiliated AHEC users.

Start with a keyword search in the catalog . Once you have located a relevant item, you can look at the Subjects in the record and follow those links to find related books.

You can also refine your results by using the facets on the left side of the screen.

English literature -- Early modern, 1500-1700 -- History and criticism

Imagination in literature

Greek drama -- Modern presentation

Search for books By a literary author as an Author search; search for books About a literary author as a Subject search.

• Author: "Woolf, Virginia, 1882-1941"
• Subject: "Woolf, Virginia, 1882-1941"

Adjust the facet on the left side of the screen to expand your search to Duke, NC State, and NCCU Libraries .  To expand your search even further, try searching WorldCat.

• WorldCat OCLC's WorldCat is the world's largest union catalog containing of millions bibliographic records for items in the collections of thousands of libraries from many countries. This database includes all the records cataloged by OCLC member libraries in several hundred languages. more... less... Access: Off Campus Access is available for: UNC-Chapel Hill students, faculty, and staff; UNC Hospitals employees; UNC-Chapel Hill affiliated AHEC users. Coverage: Before 1000 B.C. - present

Carolina BLU and Interlibrary Loan

ILL and Carolina BLU can help you get a copy of books or articles that we don't own, but it's also where you can place an item on hold or request a scan of an article not available online!

The Big Five

Five publishers have bought up a large portion of academic journals. One benefit is that you can search across journals on their websites (the library pays for most of this content).

• Taylor & Francis

Searching Within a Journal

If you find a specific journal title that is relevant to your topic, you can search for the title in our catalog.  After clicking on the button for "Full text available via the UNC-Chapel Hill Libraries" button, it will take you to a screen similar to the one above where you can search inside the journal.  More search functionality will be found within the database, but this search strategy is especially useful if years of coverage are across multiple databases.

Developing Search Terms

The first step in picking a topic is to brainstorm by asking yourself a few questions. What do you already know about this topic from your course readings? Are there similar ideas you might want to explore? What are the key concepts that you're interested in pursuing?

Once you've spent a bit of time answering these questions, you can take the concepts you've identified and use the keywords and phrases to start searching for information. Keep in mind that you'll need to build a base of knowledge before you can write effectively.

See the Database Search Strategies box on this page for more help with keyword searching!

Want to discover everything that Tisch Library has on your topic?  Try searching for your topic in JumboSearch, which simultaneously searches across all of the library's resources, including journal articles in databases, online, and in print.

Search by Keyword, Title, Subject, or Creator

Below is a selection of online resources that include a vast number of articles on topics in English, including literary criticism. The resources on this page include articles from both scholarly and popular sources, so be sure to evaluate your sources to make sure that they are appropriate for your project.

• MLA International Bibliography This database is a classified listing and subject index of scholarly books and articles on modern languages, literatures, folklore and linguistics which has been compiled by the Modern Language Association of America since 1921. The electronic version includes the Bibliography's entire print run and currently contains more than 2 million records.
• JSTOR JSTOR includes scholarship published in more than 1,400 of the highest-quality academic journals across the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, as well as monographs and other materials valuable for academic work.
• Project MUSE Provides electronic access to the full text of Johns Hopkins University Press's scholarly publications in the humanities, social sciences, and mathematics.
• Academic OneFile Academic OneFile has over 8,000 peer-reviewed journals, the majority in full-text, from the world's leading journals and reference sources.
• Academic Search Premier This multi-disciplinary database provides full text for more than 4,600 journals, including full text for nearly 3,900 peer-reviewed titles.
• Gale Literature Resource Center Find up-to-date biographical information, overviews, full-text literary criticism and reviews on more than 130,000 writers in all disciplines, from all time periods and from around the world.

Databases respond best to keyword searching.  To search efficiently, turn your research question into a keyword search:

Research Question : How does Gish Jen address issues of American identity?

Search One : (Search with keywords connected by “and”): Gish Jen and American and identity

Search Two : (Truncate some of the keywords using *): Gish Jen and America* and ident*

Search Three : (Add alternate words into the search with “(or)”): Gish Jen and (America* or United States) and (ident* or belong*)

Truncate  keywords where applicable.  Truncation uses the asterisk ( * ) to end a word at its core, allowing you to retrieve many more documents containing variations of the search term.  Truncation can also be used to find the singular and plural forms of a term.  Example: educat* will find educate, educates, education, educators, educating and more.

Looking for more articles? Search Google Scholar to find more information on your topic.

If you're off campus, you can link Tufts resources to your Google Scholar results. Linking Google Scholar to the Tufts libraries lets Google show you which full-text articles we have access to through the library's subscriptions. Once you link them, Google Scholar will automatically check to see if Tufts provides access to full-text articles. If we do, you'll be able to access the articles directly from Google Scholar, which is especially helpful if you're off campus.  Follow these instructions to link Tufts to Google Scholar:

• Open Google Scholar .
• Click on the Parallel Bars icon (hamburger stack) on the upper left side of the Google Scholar page.
• Scroll down and click on Settings. On the Google Scholar Settings page, click  Library Links  in the left sidebar.
• Enter Tufts University into the search bar and click search.
• When prompted, check the box next to Tufts University – Get this Item at Tufts
• Click  Save  at the bottom of the screen.
