> What if you wanted to locate Robert Burton's masterful 17th century
> opus, The Anatomy of Melancholy? But wait: You can't remember his name
> or the name of the book. That's where you should know to click on over
> to this delightful and helpful reference guide created by Peter
> Armenti, Digital Reference Specialist at the Library of Congress. The
> intent of this guide is to "help readers identify a literary work when
> they know only its plot or subject, or other textual information such
> as a character's name, a line of poetry, or a unique word or phrase".
> The guide is divided into three separate sections: "Finding Novels",
> "Finding Short Stories", and "Finding Poems". Each section offers a
> host of resources that include general search engines, online book
> databases, library catalogs, listservs, message boards, and physical
> print resources available in many public libraries. This guide is
> rounded out by a selection of related resources, including a primer on
> how to find poems in the Library of Congress.
