Researching and Writing about English Literature: Home

If you're researching for a class or an IS on a topic in English literature, welcome. We've created this guide to help you through the process. 

• You can navigate through the steps in the research process by clicking through the tabs along the top of the guide: Searching, Evaluating, and Writing. 
• Use this Home page as a reference and a jumping-off point, if you're ready to dive in. Your librarian contact information is on this page, as well as a number of resources from the Libraries' web pages that you might find helpful at various stages in your research and writing process. 
• This guide can get you started, and it may even help you through a mental block, but to get tailored on your specific research, there's no substitute for a Research Consultation.

If you're ready to start our research, then you can jump right in here. The MLA International Bibliography is a great resource for criticism about literature. Click through to the database and out your search terms to work!
