Key word searching is a
good initial strategy. Subject searching via Library
of Congress Subject headings or
simple subjects such as "theatre," "theater," or "drama" may
also be productive. The detailed record notes if the
work contains illustrations, which are marked with "ill" or "illus." Individuals
can be searched as subjects or authors. Theatre history
periods, such as "Greek theater," or theatrical forms,
like musicals, can make successful key word strategies.
Individual designers and plays can be searched in BANC.

| Internet
Search Strategies and Sites |
Entering a title into Google's
image search will produce photos in .jpg or .gif format. Another possible
search strategy is "drama" and college or university as a web search. A designer's
name could also be entered as a web search or image search. Periods and styles
such as "rococo" or "commedia dell arte" can be search strategies. Academic sites
can be reliable and informative. Do remember websites should be selected with
care.
