ENG 400 (Navitsky) Philadelphia Poets

Step 1:  Log into the database American Periodical Series Online

Step 2:  Set up the initial search (3 parts)

Part A:  Put a title from the list into the top search box, then use the pull-down menu on the right to select "Publication title-- PUB"

Part B:  Set the date range from 1789-1792, using the "Specific date range..." option.

Part C:  Limit to Poem under "Document Type"

Step 3:  Now you are ready to hit search!

Step 1:  What order do you want your results to be in? 

I like oldest first, but it is up to you!

Step 2:  Add an extra search term/phrase

Put it in the search box to the right of this phrase:  pub(American Museum).  Don't delete that bit, it is a necessary part of the search!

If you get no results, just hit the back button and try something else!
