Catalog Search Tips

  • If you're searching for criticism on an author, be sure to search under Subject -- a useful subject heading to choose in the results  is the writer's name and criticism and interpretation.  This will bring up subject headings like: Joyce James 1882 1941 Criticism And Interpretation  You'll see the number of books available under each heading.
  • To virtually browse the shelves, do a browse search on Library of Congress Call #
  • The catalog is fiercely Anglocentric, and tildes ~ and accents ' confuse it. This is generally true for most databases.
  • Stop words like "a" "an" "of"  "y" "de" are unnecessary and can limit your search results.
  • Use wild cards, for example, irish lit* as a keyword or subject search brings all variants.
