Language & Literature Databases

The Library provides access to several databases useful for the study of languages & literatures.

• Literature Online (LION) with MLA  LION includes, in addition to MLA International Bibliography citations, citations to the British equivalent of MLA, the Annual Bibliography of English Language & Literature, also brief biographical information on authors, and  full-text by authors.  The brief biographies and links to text make it a good preliminary source for undergraduates, but it does not provide as many search options as the MLA alone (See just below).
• MLA International Bibliography of Books & Articles On the Modern Languages & Literatures is the US standard resource for study of languages and literatures, and provides more extensive options for searching than LINO does.
• Project MUSE  provides access to full-text of recent scholarly articles in various disciplines, with some options for searching in particular areas, like "French Studies" or "Latin American Studies"
• JSTOR  provides access to full-text of scholarly articles, from their initial publication date (soms started in the 1900s) to within the latest 3-5 years, with options to search by subject areas like Language & Literature or Latin American Studies
