Start with these databases to find articles
Use the Advanced Search tab to search for articles on a theme or topic and select subject from the drop down menu. See example below. There are other approaches under the drop down box that you also may want to use, e.g., Person-by if you're looking for information on a particular author or Name of Work if you're looking for information on a particular short story or novel.
- JSTORIncludes full-text articles from academic journals, open research reports, Artstor images, and primary sources, supporting research and teaching across the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
NEW for Fall 2023: Access has been expanded through the JSTOR Archival Journals and Primary Sources Collection; all Artstor content has been migrated to the JSTOR platform.
Use the Advanced Search screen in JSTOR to search for themes and topics. Select Abstract in the drop down box to limit your search to the summary of each article and find the more effective results. In this database, if you want to find articles about a particular author or title, also use Abstract in the drop down box because in this case, author refers to the author of the article, not the author about whom you are seeking information. Similarly if you are looking for information on a particular story or novel, also use Abstract, because title in JSTOR refers to the title of the article, not the title of the story about which you are seeking information.
