Research Tools for Your Papers

MLA International Bibliography
From the Modern Language Association, this collection includes scholarly journals, books, book chapters, and dissertations on literary studies, literary criticism, film studies, and more. Arguably, the MLA is the scholarly research tool for English literature.
Literature Online (LION)
A comprehensive collection of scholarship and reference works for literary studies. Includes the Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature, a scholarly index to rival the MLA.

UT Library Catalog
Search the UT Libraries' collections of print books, ebooks, and films. You can search for scholarly books about the texts you are reading in class and using for your papers.

JSTOR
JSTOR is a key database for humanities research, with thousands of journals and scholarly books. Note that it is multidisciplinary and may require more exact search terms than MLA.
