Expanded
Academic -
UW restricted
Provides indexing and abstracting
for approximately 1,500 scholarly and general interest periodicals, covering
all major fields of study in the humanities, social sciences, and science
and technology. A good source for reviews of recent theatrical and dance
productions, although this will obviously depend on the piece.
International
Bibliography of Theater and Dance - UW
restricted
Scholarly journals, popular magazines, and monographs in theatre and dance.
JSTOR
search -
UW restricted
JSTOR provides access to articles in a
variety of electronic journals related to a variety of academic disciplines,
including theatre. Retrieves full text back files of scholarly journals,
some of which date back to the 1800's. JSTOR is not as extensive
as MLA, but it will contain information related to theatre.
Literature
Resource Center -
UW restricted
Contains biographical information and criticism
about more than 120,000 authors from a variety of fields. It also contains
selected full-text journal articles and critical essays, plot summaries,
and an encyclopedia of literary terms.
MLA
international bibliography of books and articles on the modern languages
and literatures -
UW restricted
The premier information source for literary
studies. This database contains bibliographic records related to
literature (including drama), language, linguistics, and folklore, and
includes coverage from 1963 to the present. Although MLA's coverage
of theatre is not comprehensive (and focuses more on the literary rather
than the performative aspect of plays), it will probably give you some
very useful article citations. It provides access to scholarly research
in over 3,000 journals and series, and also covers relevant books, working
papers, proceedings, bibliographies, and other formats. For the
most part, MLA will provide bibliographic information about a journal
article as opposed to the full text of the piece.
New York Times UW restricted
Full-text from 1851-2003; great source for performance reviews.
Project
Muse Search -
UW restricted
Project Muse is a subject searchable database
of the journal holdings of several university presses. Like JSTOR,

this will obviously depend on the piece.
