ERH 203: Ways of Reading, Lt. Col. Hodde

This course research guide is created for Lt. Col. Hodde's ERH 203 class.

Why use magazine, newspaper or scholarly journal articles?

Articles provide information on very specific, narrow topics. The Library purchases article databases so you may access articles for your topic – for free. Researchers use them when they need:

  • Magazines and Newspapers: Brief coverage of contemporary events written to all levels of readers.
  • Peer Reviewed/Scholarly Journals: Reports of research or scholarship on specific topics written by scholars to other scholars
    • What does peer-review mean?
      • The review of commercial, professional, or academic efficiency, competence, etc., by others in the same occupation -Oxford English Dictionary

Searching for Articles

To find articles about the authors, type the author's name and criticism. Example: Shirley Jackson criticism. Use the index of those books to see if there is criticism of the title, but remember, overall criticism of an author's approach is applicable.

You can find book reviews and news articles about the author and his book by searching the databases listed below:
