ENG 282: Literary Genres: Youth Literature: SU Library Resources

SU Library has a large collection of both fiction and nonfiction ebooks. You can find them in our list of databases, under eBook Collection (EBSCOhost). Be sure to select the general collection, not the Academic or Business. 

To search Children's or Juvenile fiction, copy and paste the following search terms into the search box in EBSCOhost: EC JUV* OR EC CGN*

To search Children's or Juvenile nonfiction, copy and paste the following search terms into the search box in EBSCOhost: EC JNF*

You can add other search terms by using the Advanced Search option. Enter one of the above search terms into the first box, and whatever other search terms you like in the other search boxes. 

A selection of Juvenile periodicals such as Highlights for Children can be found near the Easy or Picture Books in the Zaffere Library.

If you find a source that is not available at the SU Library, you can put in an interlibrary loan request.  You can learn more about the free service by clicking this link. 

Both the Easy (picture books) and Juvenile (older readers) collections held by Stevenson are located in the Zaffere Library in PAZ 169, the quiet study area.

Books about children's literature owned by Stevenson can also be found in the Zaffere Library.

If you are looking for children's or juvenile books on a particular subject:

1. Go to the Library Catalog's Advanced Search Screen.

3. Go to the Item Type box below the search boxes
4. Limit your search to Easy and/or Juvenile Books. This strategy will provide you with all of the books in our juvenile collection which pertain to bullying.
