Watch this video for instructions on how to find individual online playscripts in Quicksearch.

• Do a simple search in Quicksearch, or an advanced search in Books+ by Title, Author, or Keyword.
• Facet your results to Online.
• Choose the record you want to view, and (with your VPN connected) click the link below the title for access.

Search these databases for online playscripts: 

• Drama Online (go to Plays tab)
• Literature Online
• Alexander Street Literature
• New Play Exchange

In Quicksearch, enter the title of the play as a Keyword search in quotes, for example “cherry orchard” or “six characters in search of an author.” This will find the play as a standalone title and also within anthologies or collections.

• Too many hits? Try leaving quotes off and searching by Title rather than Keyword, for example Enron.
• No hits? First try searching other research libraries via Borrow Direct. Next, try WorldCat, with the title in quotes, to look for the play within a collection or anthology, then search the title of the collection or anthology in Orbis. WorldCat is also a good way to find citations for items not held by Yale, so that you can place an Interlibrary Loan request through Get It @Yale.
