Keep yourself on track by using the Assignment Calculator at U of Minnesota Libraries.

Search iBistro under the name of the author to find books of criticism on his/her work. Remember that an entire book of criticism is probably not dedicated to one short story, so searching under the short story title might not yield all of the relevant sources.

Remember you can request books from other iBistro libraries by placing them on hold. They will be delivered to the MCC Library.

If you have time before the paper is due, check WorldCat for sources that MCC does not have. Remember that Interlibrary Loan services are available, free of charge to any current MCC student.
