PROFESSOR PISCITELLI

LIBRARIAN: KEN FRANKEL

APRIL 4, 2008



 

The selected sources listed below are useful for finding information in books and articles about the interpretation of fiction.

FAU LIBRARIES CATALOG
 

  • The Library Catalog allows you to search for books, government documents, DVDs, electronic books, and other materials in the Library's collection. The catalog will tell you if the library owns a particular periodical (journal or magazine) but does not include the articles found in periodicals. To find these you must use a different database (see below). 

  • The Advanced search screen allows you to combine terms using “and, or, not” as well as limiting a search by location, date, format, or language.
     

  • To search for literary criticism and interpretation, search for the author's name as a subject.

ELECTRONIC DATABASES

Electronic Databases are available from the FAU Libraries home page under  "Quick Links" and then "Indexes/Databases". When accessing the databases from off campus, first be sure to click on the Off Campus Connect link and log in using your 14-digit Owl Card number.
