To search for plays in the WSU Libraries:

  1. Search the online catalog through the "Advanced Search" option. Click HERE to search.
  2. Enter the title of the play in a single search field. This option will try to locate the play as a single book, or within a larger collection, when the catalog record lists the contents of the anthology.
  3. If you are searching for an older play that does not show up in your previous search, please consult one of the indexes (begin with Ottemiller's Index to Plays, as listed below in "Helpful Resources."
  4. If you are searching for a recently published play, you may want to consult the Worldcat database or the Wichita Public Library to confirm that the play is published and to loan the item from another institution (see the "Can't Find it in Our Library? box below).
