A Book with a Single Author

Note:  The words highlighted in red are the keywords used to perform the search.

One of the most common types of item you'll find is a book with a single author. The author is listed first at the top of the record. The author of this book is Douglas Brode.

The title is listed next. The title is Shakespeare in the Movies: from the Silent Era to Shakespeare in Love.

Beneath the title is the publication information. This book was published by Oxford University Press in 2000.

The box in the center of the record tells you where the book is located in the library. This book is in the library's general collection, also called the "stacks." The call number tells you where on the shelves to look for the book.

But don't look for this book; it's checked out!

The status tells you whether the book is available. If it is, the status will be "On Shelf." If not, a due date will be listed.

If you find a book you think would be useful for your project, you can search for similar books by clicking at the subject listings at the bottom of the record. Choose the subject that best matches your research topic.

For this topic--A Thousand Acres--the first subject seems to be the most relevant, but the second one would give me more results without being too broad, like the last option.
