Concordances

CONCORDANCES allow you to find exactly where a particular word was mentioned in a particular book (or set of books). There are many concordances for religious works and famous authors.

Examples:

To find a concordance in the library catalog do a keyword search combining a broad subject with the word concordance.
This search works best if you truncate the word concordance$

Examples:

Milton and concordance$

Aeschylus and concordance$

There are also several concordances available on the web such as:

BibleTab Concordance

Shakespeare Concordance

Koran Concordance
