Literature sources

Looking for articles on literary topics, author biographies, stuff like that? The full-text Literature Resource Center (LRC), which you can find on the articles page, has what you need. A couple of quick tips:

  • Search by the name of the work (Moby Dick, for example), or do a "person search" for the author's name (Herman Melville, for example) instead of using the default keyword search.


  • After you do a search in the LRC pay attention to the tabs above your search results. That's where you'll find different kinds of stuff like biographies and literary works.


Every article you find in the LRC has the full-text online, so it's a great tool to use from home (login with the library barcode on your CCA ID).
