ENG 366: Black and Multiethnic Literature (Peters, Fall 2021)

This search strategy does not limit to a particular location but to "juvenile fiction OR juvenile literature." "Juvenile literature" includes non-fiction. It will find any ebooks we may have and books in the Curriculum Resources Center (CRC).

The pre-constructed Advanced Search links below are constructed by:

• searching your ethnic/cultural group as SUBJECT, with truncation (*) to get singular (adjective) and plural (noun) forms.
  • Example: Mexican American* finds "Mexican Americans" or "Mexican American women"
• SUBJECT Juvenile fiction OR Juvenile literature limits this to children's and young adult literature regardless of library or location.

To further limit the searches below, choose "Curriculum Resources Center" under "Libraries" OR "Moore Children's & Young Adult Collection" under Location.  (NOTE: The Curriculum Resources Center (CRC) is only open one day a week by appointment. See the page on this guide for more information.)

You can modify the below searches by clicking on the Advanced Search link under the search box.
