OSCAR:

Just do an author search in  OSCAR  to find out if we have works written by your author.  

Works of criticism about an author are easy to find in OSCAR, our online catalog, by doing a Subject search. Type your author's name, surname first (for example — Mukherjee, Bharati). OSCAR will now tell you how many books, DVDs, etc. we have about the author. Look especially for the ones that say "Criticism and Interpretation " after your author's name.

You can also find additional books on the South Asian American experience by doing a keyword search in oscar.  For example:
