When you find that perfect article or book, you might like to explore the author's other work, to see if he or she wrote more on your research topic. Below, see two ways that you can search our library by author's name.
Since Primo searches for both articles and books, it's a good place to do a comprehensive author search.
2. Use "Any field" drop-down menu next to the search box to select "Author/Creator" and type the author's name in the box (check your spelling carefully!).
3. Click "Search."
4. On the results page, you should see articles, books and more by authors with the same name.
Keep in mind that searching for a common name (like John Smith) may bring up the wrong person (or several wrong persons). If you have trouble finding the right person, consider adding keywords related to the topic that the right person wrote about (aka John Smith and climate change).
You can do the same thing in the library's individual databases, like EBSCO or ProQuest.
Another approach is to use the linked author names in an item's database record.
1. Locate an article or book by an author that interest you in a library database. Click its title to see its record.
2. Look below the title for a list of linked author's names. Click the name of the author whose work you are interested in seeing. A list of publications by that author in the current database will be displayed.
