Sample Article Keywords and Search Tips
The best way to locate articles is through the library databases. Go to Databases by Subject and look under the category English (LIT) to find a list of relevant databases. You can also perform a search in the databases below.
Remember not to write sentences in the search box. Search by keyword, name/title of work and/or author.
Look for additional keywords or subjects offered. Also make sure you look for toolbars that provide print, email, and citation options.
