Library Resources — Indexes, Abtracts, and Databases

The following resources will be useful for identifying articles on literature from a variety of sources, including magazines, journals, newspapers, and books. These are not the only databases that you can use, however. For example, if you were writing a paper on bibliotherapy, you might want to use one of the psychology databases to uncover articles relevant to your topic. Please note that you will need to be logged into the library system in order to access these databases off campus. To log in and return to this page, click here.

Reference Books (2nd Floor)

Reference materials provide quick answers on a variety of subjects. The UNF Library's Reference Collection should have specialized encyclopedias, dictionaries, and handbooks for nearly any subject you want to cover. The following materials are particularly useful for beginning to research issues in gender studies. You should also use the library's catalog to search for more specific areas. For example, if you are looking into women as writers, try looking for the keywords "women" and "literature" in the advanced search screen. You can also limit the search to the Reference Collection by choosing Reference from the Location pull-down option.
