You can use any of the above words, and any other words or names that describe your project, in a Keyword Search as well. For best results, do a Subject Keyword search, or a Title Keyword search.

Expand your search beyond JHU and search the database of WorldCat. Includes books and other materials in all US research libraries. It's very easy to request anything in WorldCat, directly from the database, from Interlibrary Services.

Google Books can be used in very interesting ways to find books about a subject. Because of the vast number of books being digitized, you can find references to subjects that you could never otherwise find. Try searching on a name (author) or a topic, or even a passage (quotation). You will be amazed at what you can find.

Recent literary criticism on all periods of Spanish literature

There are also many specialized indexes in print format. Consult the Guide to Secondary Literature in Spanish.

Notes about finding journal articles:

  • Some articles are available in electronic full-text and some are not.
  • Use the    link in the databases above to find out what options are available.
  • You can also verify electronic access to a particular journal by consulting the library's E-Journals Page.
  • If you cannot find electronic access, use the JHU Libraries Catalog to determine if the library has a print copy of the journal that you need.  Use the Alphabetical Search option to search for the Journal Title
  • You can always ask for help finding a journal article at the Information Desk on M-level.
