If you're just getting started on a project or want to get an idea of all the materials out there on a given topic, use Monroe Library's QuickSearch box. If you're looking to find a book that we have here in the library, use the library catalog and be sure to click the box next to "search catalog only" before you type in the keyword, title, or author that you're interested in.
The databases below are ones we recommend for English/Literature. In these databases you'll find articles from journals, magazines, and newspapers. Some databases provide the full text of articles and other provide citations only. To find books on English/Literature, search the library's catalog.
