ENGL 206: World Literature Crossing Borders: Articles

Primary Source Headings

The following subject heading terms can be searched to identify primary sources in the library's catalog. For example:

Subject: Slavery AND Subject: (Sources OR Correspondence OR Diaries)

• Sources
• Description and travel
• Personal narratives
• Correspondence
• Diaries
• Early works
• Correspondence, reminiscences, etc.
• Foreign public opinion
• Public opinion
• Caricatures and cartoons
• Archives
• Exhibitions

Articles are usually easier to find, but they will be much more focused on a single topic, so they are better to use later in your research process.  These databases offer some specialized features for searching and are more focused than Google Scholar.
