Welcome
Hey there, American Lit students! This guide features links to recommended resources that you will find helpful for your various assignments and research projects.
My favorite part of being a librarian is assisting with research questions. Please see my contact info on the right side of this page. I'm available for appointments in person or via Zoom, and I also enjoy saying hello when you see me in the library or around campus.
Need help on evenings or weekends? Consider emailing researchhelp@georgefox.edu for the fastest response.
Quick Links
- MLA International Bibliography with Full Text This link opens in a new windowYour go-to database for finding full-text scholarly articles. Please check out the top tabs: MLA Thesaurus, Browse Works, and Browse Authors.
- Gale Literature Criticism This link opens in a new windowComplementary to MLA, this has more popular commentary (book reviews, essays, etc.).
- Google Scholar (Find it @ George Fox) This link opens in a new windowI prefer to use Google Scholar towards the end of the research process rather than the beginning due to a high volume of results and few limiter options. However, once you have an article that is extremely relevant, search for it here between direct quotes " ". You'll likely retrieve a singular result.
