Library Resources for German Poetry

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GETTING STARTED

 

Use the Library's Research page as your point of departure.

Before starting your search, take a look at the "How to Get Started" page: 

Especially useful for this assignment are the sections on evaluating information on the web and citations styles.

 

For off-campus access to all of the databases that will be useful for this assignment, you need to login with your student ID number.

   

 

LIBRARY CATALOGS:

 CRUZCAT  

 

A keyword search is probably the easiest way to get started. Once you find some titles that are useful, click on the Library of Congress subject headings to search further. Try for example the keywords: Goethe and Poetry or German and Poetry   

 

For this assignment, the following subject headings might be useful--they are just a sample of relevant subject headings that you might want to look at:

 

German poetry-18^th  century-history and criticism

 

German poetry-19^th century-history and criticism

 

 

 

Once you have found some useful titles, you need to look at the books and also browse the shelves, both in the ref area and upstairs in the regular stacks. You could also redo the same cruzcat searches in MELVYL for more results.

 

 

REFERENCE TITLES

I’ll leave a list of useful reference works at the ref desk.

 

 

 

 

ELECTRONIC DATABASES

Once you have browsed the print reference materials, you will be better prepared for searching the electronic databases. Some of the databases listed below contain bibliographic citatations, others contain full-text.
