Searching for Criticism in Books & eBooks

When you’re searching the “Find Books and eBooks” section of www.athens.edu/library don’t forget if you search for Campbell, Joseph as the author you’ll get books by him, but if you search for Campbell, Joseph as the subject, you’ll get criticism. The same thing will happen if you search for a book's title, with a title search you’ll get that book, as a subject search you’ll get criticism on it.
