Non-literature Databases

For your non-literary assignment, you will need information about a topic relevant to your piece of literature -- not necessarily from literature-related databases. 

You might start your search with the DISCOVER Search and make note of some of the subject terms that relate to your topic.

For more options, try the multi-subject databases linked below or go to Databases by Subject.

Multi-Subject Databases

  • Specialized search tools and limiters
  • Information specific to the subject area
