How Do I Find?
Digital and Electronic Resources
Digital resources offer both the benefits and the challenges of
freedom from paper forms, and different resources have dealt with
these in different ways. One result of this is that you may need
to employ a wider variety of search strategies to find these resources.
- Start with Socrates,
and search under the Electronic Resources tab...
...but keep in mind that some digital resources may appear
in Socrates as collections, e.g., one digital version of Hamlet
is found in a collection with the title "Oxford Shakespeare."
In general, Socrates records for networked digital
and electronic resources have links directly to the resources.
Records for non-networked digital resources, such
as those on CD-ROM, will show a location and call number.
- Browse the Humanities
Digital Information Service text page...
...to explore full-text databases of primary sources in the
humanities, listed under broad subject areas. These are mostly
much larger and broader in scope than traditional books; rather,
they are collections of period- and genre-specific works,
or collected works of specific authors.
The full-text collections here come with a variety of search
interfaces, so take advantage of each interface's Help or
Tutorial functions; there is a special
tutorial for Stanford's local full-text search interface.
- Browse the E-Books
and E-texts page ...
...to explore the offerings of mostly book-length
digital resources
- Search Stanford's e-journals
search page to find e-journal titles, or use
Socrates.
