Conducting a Literary Criticism Search

To locate literary criticism through an electronic database, click on the databases of your choice to begin searching. To search for a theme and a selection (jealousy AND "The Crucible") add the thematic element, the word AND before the title of the selection. Make sure the title of the selection is in quotation marks. One database will contain more critiques than others so it is important to extend your search between the various databases offered by the library. Databases may also duplicate articles. To avoid duplicate articles, try various synonyms or paraphasing to increase search results.
