FINDING BOOKS AND PARTS OF BOOKS

Search in the Five College Library Catalog using both SUBJECT BEGINS WITH and KEYWORD searches for subjects such as your author's name, a film title, or subjects such as FRAMED STORIES.

Essay and General Literature Index 1985+

To search within books don't neglect Google Books, which now contains the full text of hundreds of millions of pages - including many books from major American research libraries.

FINDING ARTICLES

Source Access

Modern Language Association of America International Bibliography (MLAIB) (1926+) Use for literature or film - all languages but NOT for Classical Greek or Roman literature.

Expanding your language beyond the frame – try some of these SUBJECTS in MLAIB:

afterword frame analysis introduction preface
beginnings framing narrative frame prologue
ending intercalated narrative narrative technique story within a story
epilogue interpolation paratext structural elements
footnote interpretive frame plot table of contents

Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature (ABELL) (1920+) Good alternative to MLAIB for English-language literature & film.

click here
L'Année Philologique (1959+) Use for Classical literature
click here
JSTOR - (back issues excluding the most recent 2-5 years) Good if you want to search the full-text of an article - otherwise use indexes above. click here
Arts & Humanities Search (1980+) Already found a good article or book? See who is agreeing or disagreeing with this source. AHCI is a guide to footnotes "Cited References" click here
