Comics and Graphic Novels: Links, tips & resources

Sample search first steps

Your Camosun Library has a lot of Graphic content.

At Lansdowne the most of the Comics/GN collection is with *Literature* in the shelves marked PN but we have comics in many subject areas!

At the Interurban Library the Comics/GN's from all subject areas are shelved together next to the Recreational reading / paperbacks.

The best way to find titles online is by using Advanced Single Search and then filter your results using Source Type and Subject in the "Limiters" column.

The keyword in the third search field (War) can be changed to what ever topic you like to focus your search results.

Try using *Source Type* to select both Books and eBooks
