When you search MLA International Bibliography, Academic Search Premier, or Humanities International Index, you are searching the citations to articles, as well as any index terms added to the citations. With these indexes, you are NOT searching the full text of the articles themselves.
MLA International Bibliography
For most students of literature written between 400 CE and the present, this is the index to start with. Indexes scholarly journal articles, chapters in books, books, and a portion of Dissertation Abstracts International. Coverage is worldwide for the period from 400 C.E. to the present. Includes literature, linguistics, folklore, and some film-related articles. You can link to many full-text articles via WebBridge.
