Individual+LitCrit+books

Use a library catalog to access individual works of literary criticism. These individual works may consist of books by a single author, articles by various authors compiled by an editor, or reprinted articles previously published in a variety of formats now collected in a single source.



To access individual works through **Newington High School**, use the NHS Catalog and click on the //catalog// tab to search
 * Link the author's name with the word **criticism ---** EXAMPLE: //Arthur Miller and criticism//
 * Link the title of the work with the word c**riticism ---** EXAMPLE: //Oedipus and criticism//
 * Look for works with LITCRIT in the call number (at NHS) - these materials are located in the lower level of the library
 * Use the table of contents and/or the index to locate specific information
 * Note that many of these works include biographical information
 * Some works are also available as an eBook. Look for the [[image:eb.gif]]icon next to the record. To access the eBook, open the record and scroll down to the link

Start with **book** or **journal** (whichever the ORIGINAL material was) Then select **REPRINT** Follow the rest of the prompts -- you will enter information about the original source first, then you will enter information about the book in which the material is reprinted.


 * __Poetry for Students__**

For introductory material (up to the Criticism section) and for critical essays written for Poetry for Students, use **Reference Source** and keep the default "article or entry" form when prompted. Introductory material is unsigned, so you will leave the author area blank. (You will enter the editor of the book's name when prompted later in the form)

Essays are signed, so you will enter the author name.

Some critical articles are reprints - follow the instructions above for reprinted articles for these.


 * __Reference Books (including eBooks)__**

Use **Reference Source** unless articles are reprints. (see reprinted articles above)
