The resources identified in this research guide are by no means a comprehensive list of resources available through the Asa. H. Gordon Library.
Books are the best source for indepth information when you really need to know a subject in and out. Typical books are structured in such a way as to lead you from little knowledge about a subject to a more thorough understanding; this cannot usually be said for web resources or articles. Scholarly articles are typically written by and for experts in a field and so cannot be easily understood by someone that is not familiar with the jargon of that subject. Web resources are often the best option for current events and up to date information, but usually do not provide any in depth examination of the information.
Materials at the Asa H. Gordon Library are housed using the Library of Congress Classification System (LCC), a system developed by the Library of Congress and used by most research and academic libraries in the U.S. and several other countries. Most public libraries and small academic libraries continue to use the older Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). You can find books related to English Literature and Criticism in the "P" class.
