Welcome!

This guide is intended to help students in Modern Language and Literature courses, or engaged in language and literature research, in locating useful resources. These include commercial resources provided by the library and made available to the Kenyon community as well as resources freely available on the web.

As the library liaison to  the Modern Languages and Literature Department, I'm happy to help you navigate your research related inquiries. Feel free to call, email, or click on the purple button (in my profile box) to arrange an appointment.

Kenyon's one-stop search tool, K·Search, is a great place tool to use if you have a particular author or title to search for; it's also a good place to start a general search for scholarly and peer-reviewed materials.

To the left of your results list, you'll see options for filtering your results:

• Scholarly & Peer-Reviewed
• Content Type (e.g., Journal Article or Book)
• Academic Discipline
• Publication Date

Kenyon College Land Acknowledgement

Kenyon College acknowledges that the lands on which we live, work, celebrate, and heal are the ancestral homelands of the Miami, Lenape, Wyandotte, and Shawnee peoples, among others. The disputed Treaty of Greenville (1795) and the forced removal of Indigenous peoples from this region allowed for the founding of the College in the early 1800s. As a community, we are committed to confronting this dark past while also embracing through education and outreach the many Indigenous communities that continue to thrive in Ohio.  

Thank you: Jacky Neri Arias, Patrick Bottiger, Sarah Pfaff, Orchid Tierney, Chris Kennerly, Howard Grier, Indigenous Nations at Kenyon
