Searching the Catalog Tips

Support your literary analysis with books from the University Library. 

Try using the advanced search feature of the catalog to search for works on your author. Make sure you limit your format to 'books'.

Select 'Subject' from the drop down menu and type in your author's name. Add "criticism","interpretation" or both of these terms into another 'subject' search line. Your results should be literary criticisms about your author. To further limit your results, you can add another 'subject' line that includes the title of the authors work.
