Using the WVU Libraries Catalog to Find Plays

Plays can be found primarily in two places in the WVU Libraries:  

  1. The Evansdale Library Play Collection (main floor).  These are organized alphabetically by the author name.
  2. The Downtown Library Literature Collection.  These are located in the 2nd floor stacks, organized by Library of Congress call number.

The WVU Libraries catalog, WorldCat, indexes all of these titles.  It is especially important to check the catalog before venturing into the Downtown Campus Library stacks.

Find Plays by Genre, Theme, Casting, and More

Please note:  the title links in the UCI Drama Library Tagpacker connect to the UCI Library catalog, not the WVU Libraries.  Copy the play title you're seeking into the Title field of the WVU Libraries catalog to see if it's available.  If it's not available, use the Request:ILLiad button to borrow the play through interlibrary loan.
