Finding Literary Criticism

At SLCC, your best bet for locating most literary criticism is to use the main search box on the library website (called OneSearch). There's a OneSearch box on this page for your convenience.

Search tips:

  • Search by title of the work (i.e. "Doll's House," "Their Eyes Were Watching God," etc.)
  • Search by title and author (i.e. "Doll's House" Ibsen)
  • Search by author (i.e. Ibsen, Zora Neale Hurston, etc.)
  • Search any of the above and add the word "criticism" (i.e. "Doll's House" criticism, Zora Neale Hurston criticism, etc.)
  • Limit to publication types as necessary (i.e. Academic Journals is a popular choice for locating literary criticism)

If you get stuck, ask a librarian for help!

  • Call them at 801-957-4610
  • Text them at 801-770-0996
  • Or chat with them online
