Introduction

This web page is to help you locate appropriate scholarly sources for your research essay.

To make best use of your time, strategize your search--both in the resources you select and search terms you use. Doing subject-specific research in a general database, rather than a subject-focused database is going to leave you out of the most important scholarly conversations and use up precious time!

Your draft research essay requires a minimum of 5 sources, and more gives you flexibility as you develop your arguments, so keep that in mind as you explore the resources offered in the tabs on this page.
