Wikipedia
This site is often a good starting point. Wikipedia may be helpful for understanding a particular work of literature and for finding other reference sites. Bear in mind, however, that because literally anyone can edit Wikipedia, it is generally not a reliable source for a reference in your own paper.

These sites have been more or less pre-screened by the Library of Congress.

This site is provided by the University of Michigan.

Library Spot
This site is a portal to thousands of libraries around the world.
