Search by:

Use the library catalog to find specific novels. All novels are not in one location in Randall Library; they are dispersed throughout the language and literature section along with works of literature and biographies.

To search for criticism of a novel within a book, consult Randall Library's catalog; select "subject," and enter the name of the novel's author (last name first). Then search for the subject heading subdivision "criticism and interpretation."
