I need to find a play.

Do a keyword search on “plays” in the Library Catalog. Choose a book (some have a single play, others have several), and use the call number to find it in our literature section on the 4th floor. Plays are scattered throughout the “P” section depending on time period and nationality of author. If you are looking for plays from a particular time period, you can use the Subject search in the catalog (for example - Drama - 20th Century).

You can also search by a specific play title, if you put the title in quotes but use the Keyword search rather than the Title search (to pick up the title in Tables of Contents of books with several plays).
