Finding Books
Use the online catalog to find books on your subject. To find a book of criticism written about an author's work, do a subject search using the author's name. For example, if you want literary criticism written about Syliva Plath's work, go to the Basic Search, select Subject, and enter her name--last name first: plath, sylvia. You can also do a subject search about a genre of work, i.e. gothic fiction. And by selecting Author, you can search for information written by a particular individual.
