Assignment 3: MLA and WorldCat Author/Topic Search
Margaret Cavendish, Poems and Fancies When doing the search for Margaret Cavendish, there was a fair amount of results, in the MLA database. No matter what the search parameters were, all of the results where the same (there were 235 results total). When searching for the actual work “Poems and Fancies” in the MLA database, there were no results with the WorldCat search also. When using WorldCat there were more results than with MLA (401). The search parameter that provided the most information was in WorldCat when Margaret Cavendish was used as the key word (721 results). Many of the results that were found when using Margaret Cavendish as the keyword were her own works. Also, many of the results were about others that were probably related to Cavendish (because they had the same name). The articles that I picked were chosen because by the titles they seemed as if they might provide some information considering that much of what I found did not seem relevant to Cavendish and her work. Also, some articles that did seem interesting were not printed in the last fifteen years. Some of these articles and books are not accessible through the online library but seems like they may be of good use.
