Q. What are the best databases for articles on literature?

The best place to find articles on works of literature is in our literature databases. Use our Working with Literature page (see link below) to access guides on searching & obtaining citations from the best databases for this topic.

You'll see links to the How-to guides in the center. Each guide links to the database being described. Remember, when off campus you have to log in with your last name and College of the Mainland student ID number to access the actual databases.

You may need to use a few databases to find enough articles, depending on your assignment and the specific author or work you have selected. As general advice (depending on your assignment, professor's instructions, etc.) Literary Reference Center & Artemis are good places to start. From there, try Academic Search Complete or ProQuest.
