Looking Beyond Literature

Even a paper about Shakespeare's work is rarely just about Shakespeare. Many projects are multidisciplinary, or projects using two or more different academic disciplines. Each of you will have to figure out what subjects are ideal for your specific topics and interests, but below I have included a brief guide to some of the other resources you might find interesting.

To see a complete list of databases OWU students have access to, you can go to A-Z Databases. From there, you can simply click the 'All Subjects' button and limit to a specific subject area of your choice!
