Bibliographies
There are bibliographies at the backs of books and articles -- and then there are full-length bibliographies. Oxford Bibliographies: Buddhism is a really good full-length bibliography.
Articles that may be of interest:
- Buddhist Miracles
- Buddhism and Modern Literature
- Nuns, Lives, and Rules
- Buddhism and the Beats
- Buddhism in the West (North America and Europe)
- Buddhist Modernism
- Buddhism and Gender
- Women in Buddhism
- Prominent Buddhist Women in the West
- Buddhism and the Environment
Another useful bibliography is the H-Buddhism Bibliography Project. You can search it or navigate it by tags from the Items page. Here's what's in the bibliography for hagiography.

Another Way to Find Primary Sources
Besides using Oxford Bibliographies, you can also do searches in the library catalog.
- If you know a title or author (e.g., Journey to the West, Jack Kerouac), you can search for one of those. Use the Advanced Search so that you can narrow by title or author.
- For pre-1800 primary sources on Buddhism, choose the Advanced Search:
Enter buddhism early works to 1800 in a search field. Make sure you select "Library Catalog" above the search fields and "Subject" from the dropdown next to the search field. Do the search.
