Literary Criticism: Finding Criticism: Books and eBooks

This guide is meant to help you with any assignment involving the the critiquing of literature.

The easiest way to find books that have the literary criticism you are looking for is to use the Library's book catalog. Just go to the Library's home page (https://library.laguardia.edu) and click enter your search terms into OneSearch. 

Once at the main search page of the Library's book catalog you have several choices on how to search. Selecting "ALL CUNY Libraries" from the pull-down menu on the right will increase you chances of finding something of use to you in another CUNY library, which you can then request to be delivered to LaGuardia.

As far as searching, the best type of search to use is a "Subject begins with . . ." or "Keyword in subject" search. You can select these commands by using the pull-down menus to the left of where you enter your search terms on the OneSearch page. One term you could use on a separte line is: "criticism and interpretation".
