There are some tools here to get you started, but if at any point it gets frustrating, or you're not finding what you need, please let me know :) mccuskd@arc.losrios.edu
If you're just getting a feel for the literature and aren't sure what you want to write about, Literature Resource Center is often a good place to start. The more that has been written about a particular work, the better your experience will be with Literature Resource Center. If very little has been written about the work you are researching, OneSearch will likely work better.
Once you have done some reading in Literature Resource Center, give OneSearch a shot. OneSearch searches multiple databases at once, so if OneSearch is working well for you, no need to try the others. But, if you're getting lots of irrelevant hits when you search OneSearch, or if OneSearch is frustrating, experiment with searching the other databases.
