DATABASES
To access the databases, click the online databases link from the library’s webpage. (Note: A TTC ID card is needed for off campus access). For help in using the databases and other online resources, see the tutorials and guides section of the library webpage found under the research link.
Literature Resource Center - Provides biographies, bibliographies, and critical analyses of more than 120,000 authors from every age and literary discipline.
JSTOR - Provides access to hundreds of articles taken from scholarly journals in various subject areas. Some articles date back to the 1800’s. Articles are digitized. Often times literary criticism written on the same work but during a different time period will provide great contrast (ex. An article written about Eudora Welty in the 1960s may differ from one written in 2000. 40 years of events in society may change authors' perspectives).
NetLibrary (Online Electronic Books)
Electronic books (e-books) are available on various topics covered in ENG 201 through TTC’s Online library (netLibrary). Using keyword search, enter the topic or subject you are studying. The resulting book titles are all fully available online.
