CLIO Tip: Finding Plays, Short Stories and Essays




(NEW YORK, January 25, 2008)

Looking for an essay, a short story, or a play? Shorter works published in a collection may not be retrieved by an Author or Title search. But they are often listed in the contents note, which is searchable by keyword:

A keyword search for “laugh of the medusa” cixous retrieves 9 hits. Click on the full view for each record to see the table of contents for each title:






Each essay or story in the contents note is followed by a slash and the author’s name, which makes it easier to distinguish works about “the laugh of the medusa” from the essay itself.



If searching by keyword for a play, essay, short story, or poem, does not retrieve the work you need, Ask Us for assistance. The Library offers many indexes to essays, plays, short stories, and poems, as well as bibliographies devoted to authors, and we can help you locate shorter works as well.
