TIPS AND TRICKS

1) LEARN TO SEARCH BY DATE RANGE TO LOCATE CONTEMPORARY SOURCES IN DATABASES BY USING THE CUSTOM DATE RANGE FILTER OR TWEAKING THE EXAMPLE QUERIES AT RIGHT (VICTORIAN ERA roughly 1830-1914)

2) CONSIDER YOUR SEARCH TERMS. EXAMPLES INCLUDE "gothic literature"* (*but distinguish British from Southern or American gothic, for example)

"victorian literature" or "victorians and social class" or "victorians and religion" as examples

3) REMEMBER TO LOG INTO DATABASES ANY TIME YOU ARE WORKING OFF CAMPUS WITH A LIBRARY RESOURCE. See off campus access info below

OFF CAMPUS ACCESS

When searching at home, in a coffee shop, or anywhere off campus, you will need a username and password to log into each database.

For remote access to all databases: Please see our username and password here.
