Locate your play

InfoHawk Catalog
(Use the InfoHawk Catalog to locate books containing your play or books about your play)

Basic Search Sample:

Title beginning with…  Three Sisters
Author beginning with… Chekhov, Anton
Subject beginning with… Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich, 1860-1904. Tri sestry

Books about your author and your play may discuss contemporary reviews of the play.

If you are not able to locate your play with a title search, it may mean that your play appears as part of an anthology.  Try doing an Advanced Search, using Title Words and the author.

Advanced Search Sample:

Author Words...  Chekhov
Title Words...  Three Sisters

 
WorldCat
