Literature Databases

Library Databases

To find magazine, journal, and book articles about "Trifles" or "A Jury of Her Peers", search in the databases found on the header tabs in this box.

Databases are used to search for and locate articles needed for the research process. Please see the Trouble Logging In? page in this Guide for instructions on how to sign-in to the library databases.  If you experience log-in issues, please contact an HCC Library.

Each of the databases has a different "look" but they all search in similar ways. Typically, you will enter both the author's name and the title of the story to find articles that are about a particular story. If instead, you are only looking for biographical information about the author, you can use the Biography (Gale) database.
