Library books

Books that may be of help to you have been placed on a small cart.  You may use the catalog to locate additional books of criticism and overviews of your book if that will help you write your essay.  However, the books which specifically address the adaptation of your literary work have been pulled for you. 

Noodle Tools

Noodle Tools, similar to EZ Bib, is an electronic citation builder.  Use this powerful tool to create beautiful, A+ Works Cited documents! 

Gale Literature Resource Center

Your VERY best bet for critical essays about your plays, or generic articles about Shakespeare. 

Other Literary Criticism and Shakespeare Resources

Remember, you may need to use several different searches to get articles that will help you.  Try searching on Othello AND Parker or Othello AND Nelson OR Shakespeare AND movie adaptations.  Experiment!

Google scholar

You can always try to locate additional academic articles using Google scholar.  However, you are often directed to subscription only databases like our Literature Resource Center, which you can't access without $, or to ebooks that you can buy.

MLA @ KHS

Don't forget, the library has several copies of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 7th Ed.  If you can't find an example of a source in our KHS handout, check the complete handbook for help.  Even better, ask your teacher or Ms. Teixeira for assistance.
