ENGB05: Critical Writing about Literature

This tab is for locating an article when you already have the citation of the article you'd like to find. If so, use LibrarySearch or Google Scholar to locate a full-text copy of your article.

If you don't have a citation yet, try Finding Articles: By Topic. 

Finding specific article titles in LibrarySearch

To search for an exact book or article, search with quotations around your title phrase. See an article title search demonstration. 

If searching with quotations around your title phrase is not successful, try using Advanced Search with the following settings:

• Select "Title" from the first drop-down menu
• Choose "is (exact)" from the next drop-down menu
• Enter your title phrase with or without quotations
• Select your preferred item format (if you have one)
