Article finder - this tool is the quickest and most effective way of finding a specific journal article. This will be useful if you find sources you'd like to read in the Works Cited list of another article (known as "citation chaining"). Enter the information from the citation into this form - the more information the better! - and it will tell you how to get access to your article through Hamersly Library. Need help using this tool? Check out the "Find It @ WOU" tutorial.
These databases can help you find citations for articles published in scholarly journals and other sources specific to literature.
The publisher Gale produces multiple series which reproduce, either in full or excerpted, literary criticism from journals and book chapters. Coverage of any given author may appear in several volumes and in multiple series. Some entries present criticism on the author's entire body of work; other entries present criticism on a single important piece of literature. Gale's Literary Index indicates the series and volumes to which you should refer; the titles below are the critical series that Hamersly Library has--there are other Gale series listed in the index which we do not have. For the print volumes, the authors are presented in alphabetical order by last name.
