Journal articles and other periodical publications provide scholarly information on specific aspects of classical literature and history.  Since articles are generally published on a shorter schedule than books, they can be more-up-to-date.  The following indexes are the best ways for you to identify journal articles.

Use the Tripod catalog for your home institution        to look for all books (print and digital) owned by your college as well as the print titles at the other two schools.  

The following searches are a sampling of possibilities.  To find materials on a topic, try doing a keyword search in the Tripod Catalog to find relevant materials and then use the subject headings assigned to those titles to find more books.  Note that all these searches are in the Books+Media channel.  In examples #1 and 4 below, using keywords (that is Any Field in Tripod), rather than subjects, will pick up results from chapter titles and book content summaries.

    ovid AND reception AND metamorphoses  [Any Field]       

    (influence* OR appreciation) [Subject]  AND ovid [Subject] AND metamorphos* [Any Field]       

     ovid criticism and interpretation   [Subject]  Newest titles first       

     ovid, 43 B.C.-17 A.D. or 18 A.D metamorphoses [Subject]  Newest titles first      

**  Try opening a search above and replace one of the topics with your subject interest.
