Welcome

This guide will assist you in finding reviews and analyses of of the Unit 3 & 4 Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) English and Literature texts. The content, though,  will be helpful to anyone looking for hints on reading and responding to texts, or seeking links to commentaries, criticisms and plot overviews.

The Library subscribes to many literature databases giving access to a wide range of high quality journal articles and other publications.

Many of these databases contain the full text of articles, but some provide citations for articles. The Library catalogue can then be searched to find the journals referred to in the citations.

See the Researching literature online tab for guidance on accessing and searching our databases and for more details on citations.

Registering to access the online databases
