America : History and Life
Major periodical index covering all aspects of U.S and Canadian history (social, intellectual, military, and political history). Use the term Blacks if looking for information about African Americans. Other useful subject descriptors for this database: Mulattoes, Women, Stereotypes.
A basic index to the humanities, including literature. A useful starting place when looking for journal articles, particularly if you're still playing around with your paper topic. The majority of journals will be available at Columbia (not true of the MLA - see below).
Covers drama, theater, film, the broadcast arts.
Major index for literature (and much film criticism falls into literature). In addition to scholarly articles, the MLA indexes essays, books and dissertations. Although much wil be available at Columbia, quite a bit may not be owned by Columbia. You can request material not at CU using InterLibrary Loan and/or Borrow Direct from the Request It page. Consider checking the Catnyp (NYPL Research Libraries Catalog) or Bobcat (NYU) to see if material is held at either of these locations. Connect to these catalogs from the Catalogs page.
Current Columbia faculty, staff and students only.
