Articles and Databases

Online Journals

Faculty and students can access the complete contents of many journals on-line via LIAS through two sources: Project Muse and JSTOR.  Both regularly add new journals to their holdings.  This means that readers can see the tables of contents and the full text of articles from their office or home computers.  You can also print the articles you want.

JSTOR was started as a project of the Mellon Foundation. Its holdings in literature currently include:

  • African American Review
  • Black American Literature Forum
  • Negro American Literature Forum
  • American Literature
  • Callaloo
  • ELH
  • MLN (Modern Language Notes)
  • Representations
  • Shakespeare Quarterly
  • Speculum
  • Yale French Studies


Project Muse

  • American Quarterly
  • Callaloo
  • Configurations
  • Diacritics
  • ELH
  • The Lion and the Unicorn
  • Literature and Medicine
