Using OneSearch
When searching OneSearch, avoid using "Title" searches. Search the words that make up the title of your play in Books (results will include e-Books).
Search Tips
- Not sure of the whole title? Search just using a few key words:
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
- Common one-word title, zillions of results? Add AND + the playwright's last name:
Wit AND Edson
- Common multi-word title, still zillions of wrong results? Put exact titles in quotation marks:
"In the Blood"
