questions, questions

ok i have two questions for people
1) being new to the whole american university system i was wondering if you have an electronic database that you can use to search for journal articles?
2) was telling someone about the urban legends course and they were asking if its around next semester? any ideas?
thanks,
jo

ps. be interesting to find out when the first reference to cannibalism was made in literature. know there are a few in greek mythology, were a Greek King Lycaon wanted to test whether the gods could tell the difference between meat and human flesh.
