Now that colleges and schools are getting ready to open for the new academic year, students might appreciate some hints on retrieving literary criticism about the books they are going to read.

If you are researching material written about a given work of literature, it is best to search the library’s catalog by subject, using the author’s last name first as the subject. (Subject search: Steinbeck, John).  Many students make the mistake of conducting an author search which will only retrieve materials written by the author.
