You can also limit to specific content type (such as "Book/eBook").
One simple way to find what we have is to do a Subject search for Shakespeare, William.
Using the additional search boxes allows you to focus your search further. Some other subjects that you could search along with Shakespeare, William include:
Adaptations, Biography, Characters, Comedies, Criticism, Interpretation, Dramatic Production, Film and Video Adaptations, Hamlet (or other play), Histories, Language, Musical Settings, Philosophy, Religion, Sources, Stage History, or Tragedies.
Sometimes all circulating items on your topic have been checked out. When this happens there is always the option of Interlibrary Loan (https://www.emich.edu/library/services/get_other_libraries.php).
GoogleBooks can be used to search the content of many books.
Some books are available in full text; many are not full text in GoogleBooks -- but might be found in the library catalog or obtained via interlibrary loan.
MeLCat is the fastest way to borrow a book via interlibrary loan. If you can't find the book in MeLCat, try ILLiad.
