About Literary Works

 

Literary works refers to the books written by the individual author.

Begin with the COTR Catalogue to find works of literature in Library. The strategy is a bit different depending on if the work is a short work versus a full-length book. If we do not have the book you need, you may be able to find it electronically in our e-book collection by using the Search All catalogue.
