Literary Criticism--OGLR

While I will always go to the MLA first when conducting research, the OGLR indicates this is not the best way to start (248). Certainly the MLA database is the largest online index aiding one in conducting literary research, I find it interesting that the OGLR advises that "it isn't the best way to start." This section of the OGLR, and of course many of the chapters in this book provide so many avenues by which to look for articles/essays and key information, I find that this is an excellent course to take at the very beginning of the MA program as it will help in conducting research in other classes as well.
