Depending on the article types your assignment requires, the following outlines some routes to discover articles for this area of research.
Our Discovery Catalog searches through a lot of our databases all at once and is found on our library homepage. It can be a good place to start to cast a wide net to see what is available. It will even find items the library doesn't own, but can possibly get via interlibrary loan (ILL) – though you can limit those results out after doing a search to items held by the TCC Library. ILL is a free service for TCC students and employees. Here is an FAQ that teaches you how to use the catalog.
After doing a search in Discovery, you can limit to the source type you are needing (articles, books, video, etc.) and even to specific dates. If searching for a peer-reviewed article, you can even limit to that!
You can search the online library catalog (main search bar on the library homepage) for literary criticism on the author or a specific work of fiction. Use the "author keyword" feature in the basic search screen followed by term "criticism" (here's an example). Or, using an advanced search, you can limit to the author and keyword there. Here's an example: kw:(criticism) AND au:(Victor Hugo)
You can find full-text articles with literature criticism in the library’s databases.
