At this point, scan the list ofent,:ies until you find the appropriate subheading (for example--bibliography, --criticism and interpretation, --biography)

QUALIFYING SUBJECTS

If you are doing indepth research on an author, the best placeto begin your search is with a bibliography devoted to thework of that author. Bibliographies will frequently bedivided up by the titles of poems, stories etc. and willdirect you to criticism on particular work. Disadvantages arethat bibliographies may not be up to date; you will need touse additional sources if you need recent or currentcriticism. Also, they are not available on every author.

Use ALADDIN to find bibliographies concerning the works of aspecific author. Type s/ (for a subject search for booksabout an author), and then enter the author's last name andfirst initial. Example: s/hawthorne n At this point,scan the list of the author's name and birth (and death) datesfor the subheading --bibliography:

Atkins Library has bibliographies and/or books of criticism onall of the authors studied in this course.

Note: At present, ALADDIN contains records for all booksprocessed by the library since 1977. ONLY RECORDS NOT YETENTERED INTO THE ALADDIN SYSTEM CAN BE FOUND THROUGH THE CARDCATALOG. To find additional material on these authors, youmay wish to check the card catalog.
