The Gale Virtual Reference Library is a collection of many online reference books.
The Literature Online Reference collection focuses on literature.
Use these resources to find scholarly articles, or sometimes book chapters or conference papers. No one database has it all, so you may want to compare different perspectives by running your search in several databases. Note that recently published books and poetry are not always well covered by the specialized databases. You'll probably have more luck in Discover @ MU or Academic Search Complete.
