Databases for Further Research

• MLA International Bibliography: citations for journal articles on languages and literatures; searches can be limited by language.
• JSTOR: scans of journals from multiple fields, with a heavy emphasis on the humanities
• EBSCO Databases (Languages): this link searches multiple databases, selected based on their relevance to language- and literature-related research topics. It includes the MLA International Bibliography as well as databases focused on history, humanities, social science, and general literature. It will return much broader and less-focused results than a search in the MLA database alone. To see which databases are included, or to change databases, select "Choose Databases" above the search boxes.
