Catalog Search Tutorial

Uni High physical collection

To select a book of poetry you can pick up from the Uni library,  follow the instructions in the video above, or pick from the selection below.

Once you've selected a book and confirmed it's on the shelf, email Paul (p-kothe@illinois.edu) to arrange a pickup, or use the form from class.

Books Available Digitally

Want a book, but don't want to arrange a pickup? Some printed collections of poetry are available online through the university. Get started with these, or search the catalog for more.
 

Uni Library Anthologies

Anthologies are a great resource-- they have poems of a wider diversity of styles and authors than a single poetry collection, and someone has decided each of them is worthy of including. If you want a physical anthology to go through, request it from the Uni library!
