Basic Search Suggestions

In the Books & Media Tab:

  • Conduct a subject search on the author of the work in question.  This will give you books about the author.
  • Don't forget to use Boolean Operators (AND, OR, NOT).  These can help you focus your results.
  • If you are looking for literary criticism, try a subject search on the author's last name AND criticism.
  • If your author is associated with a literary movement (e.g. Harlem Renaissance) do a subject search on the movement. 
  • How do you do a subject search?
    • Go to the OneSearch and type in the subject you are looking for (e.g. Harlem Renaissnance), then hit return.
    • On the results screen, go next to the search bar and click on the advanced search link
    • On the Advanced Search screen you want to go to the drop down menu next to where it says Any field and select subject.
    • Under Material Type (to the right of the top search bar) from the drop down menu select Books/eBooks.
    • When you've selected all of these, click on the Search link.
