Searching for Materials in Our Library

The online card catalog may be accessed from the online database page of the Media Center at http://www.rbrhs.org/MediaCenter/Oldb.aspx is called Destiny. It can only be accessed within the school building. One of the best ways to search for criticism is to type the author's last name and click the subject button. Look for the subject heading that says your author's name and—“criticism and interpretation.” ex. Twain, Mark--criticism and interpretation There are a number of books available in the regular collection that will be helpful to you for your research, notably the Twayne's Author Series and the Harold Bloom Modern Critical Interpretations. These are located using the card catalog (OPAC) to search for information on your author
