Resources in Napier Library

Databases

Journal databases

These can help you identify useful journal articles: note the links to our helpsheets as you connect to the service.

You may still have more work to do to find the full text of the articles! See our web page on Locating Journal Articles.

Literature and arts in general:


Newspaper articles

  • Nexis UK contains the full text of a huge range of international newspapers - but no pictures, sadly.

Poetry

English poetry : the English poetry full-text database - on CD-ROM. Available for use in Craighouse and Merchiston libraries.

Resources on the Internet

Internet gateways

Some of the best gateways for this subject area are:

Intute: Arts & humanities Voice of the Shuttle - can't find any evidence that the site is currently being maintained, but there is still much useful material here.

Literature

Project Gutenberg - over 20,000 free books in the Project Gutenberg Online Book Catalog. A grand total of over 100,000 titles is available at Project Gutenberg Partners, Affiliates and Resources. You are advised to check that books are out of copyright in the UK (or your home country) before downloading.

The Victorian Web - "dedicated to “literature, history and culture in the age of Victoria”. Useful background material for 19th century literature.

The Poetry Archive - "The Poetry Archive is the world's premier online collection of recordings of poets reading their work."

The Literary Gothic - a Web guide to all things concerned with literary Gothicism, which aims to collect together as many important links and e-texts as possible.

Publishing


Printing and graphic communications


Media and cultural studies

  • Theory.org - the media theory site - "Social theory for fans of popular culture. Popular culture for fans of social theory....explores the complex connections between media and identities and tries to have a little fun"
