Printed Contemporary Literary Criticism

posted Jan 14, 2020, 7:22 AM by Central Library   [ updated Jan 14, 2020, 9:02 AM ]

In addition to our online access to literary criticism, the print Reference Section of our McIninch Library houses many volumes of Contemporary Literary Criticism from the Gale Group.  


We have 128 Volumes containing printed critical response with commentary on the works of contemporary writers from around the world, from novelists and philosophers to political leaders, arranged by time period or format. 


To target your research, there is now an online Gale literary index. 


Use this online index to look up the name of an author or work will tell you which of the Gale series discuss this topic. (Note that we do not own all of the Gale series or all of volumes listed in the index.)

No Student WiFi

posted Nov 14, 2019, 8:06 AM by Central Library   [ updated Nov 14, 2019, 8:14 AM ]

We have just learned that the InformationTechnology (IT) Department asked for and received approval from the School Board to disable all access to the Student WiFi.

Access will be disabled during a 30-day trial period.  In December, the IT Department will go back to the School Board and the next course of action for Student WiFi will be determined.

Until then student WiFi will be unavailable. As we find out any information, we will continue to update these Library Announcement pages.  Thank you.
