Finding Articles

There are many direct and indirect online resources relating to the study of Literature. This list of resources, while by no means exhaustive, provides a basic starting point for research on the multiple aspects of World Literature, including German Literature. It is important to remember that when searching for reviews of particular book titles, most of the databases listed will allow searching exclusively for book reviews. Also, when searching for a particular title, make sure that you type the title within "quotation marks," which sets the search up as a phrase search.
