→Welcome to Fall Quarter 2009!

→Pardon our dust! Young Research Library is being renovated. A-level renovations are nearly completed and will include a great new study area and space for our microfilm and map collections. Read more at our University Librarian's blog.

→Save the date! International Open Access Week is Oct 19-23, 2009. UCLA Library will be hosting events aimed at faculty, graduate students, and undergrads, including evening film showings. All events will be open to the public (of course!).

This research guide will point you toward online research resources and strategies available to you as scholars doing literary research at UCLA.  You will also find help locating analog resources (e.g. print, microfilm, audiovisual) in our library catalogs.

Visit this guide regularly to check for upcoming library workshops and events, as well as newly acquired resources to help you in your research process.  

If your area of research is comparative or focused on non-English literatures, consider also contacting the appropriate subject specialist at http://www2.library.ucla.edu/libraries/librarians.cfm. 

There are a number of library catalogs available to UCLA researchers. For an explanation of why we have so many catalogs, what they each contain, and how we may end up with a single library catalog interface in the future, check out the Books Tab in this guide.

These online sources are good places to start your literature-related research. For quick reference, hold your mouse over a link for a brief description of the resource.

For more suggested sources, go to the tabs at the top of the page.
