GEORGE   

http://catalog.library.georgetown.edu/

To locate books in Lauinger Library, use GEORGE, the online catalog. 1. Author searches: Type in the name, last name first. Note: Names must be entered in the proper form. Examples: Calderon de la Barca, Pedro Ortega y Gasset, Jose Cervantes Saavedra, Miguel de Ruiz de Alarcon y Mendoza, Juan Garcia Lorca, Federico Vargas Llosa, Mario Molina, Tirso de Vega, Lope de; 2. Subject searches: To find books of literary criticism about authors and/or their work, type in the name (last name, first name) as a subject. Many different subheadings can appear under this subject heading, but note particularly "Criticism and interpretation" (e.g., Allende, Isabel--Criticism and Interpretation) and "Bibliography" (e.g., Garcia Marquez, Gabriel, 1928--Bibliography). If a specific work has been widely studied, you may find a subheading devoted just to it (e.g., Garcia Marquez, Gabriel, 1928--Cien Años De Soledad). Note: For a given book to appear under an author's name, the book must be solely or primarily about the author. Therefore, you might want also to expand the scope of your search to include topics (e.g., Latin American fiction, Spanish American literature, Spanish poetry--Women authors); 3. Keyword searches: When you can't determine a relevant subject heading, try searching by keyword. This technique locates words in a book's title, subject headings, and contents notes. For example: surrealism and (latin or hispanic or spanish) and literature. Use an asterisk (*) to truncate words to retrieve word variants (e.g., latin* for latin or latino or latina).
