Literature

Use the tools on this page to help find books of or about World Literature.  

• oneSearch, on the left, searches through the library's catalog for books and e-books.  Use this to see if the S.C. Williams Library has a copy of the book you're looking for.  Search by title, author, subject, or keyword(s).  

• WorldCat, below oneSearch on the left, searches through nearby libraries' catalogs for books and e-books. Use this if the S.C. Williams Library does not own a copy of the book you need.  If you find what you're looking for, use Inter-Library Loan to have the book delivered to you. Or, check with a librarian to see if you can go and use another university's library through the Metro Referral Card System.
