You don't have to make your topics narrower to get results; you have to change your search terms to fit the nature of the material you are searching.

For example, you can find a reference book for your cluster topic. You just have to search the catalog for a 'broader' term.

I did a search in the catalog for the phrase "ancient theat*" and limited my results to the "reference collection." When I did that, I found this title:

"The Crown guide to the world's great plays, from ancient Greece to modern times. PN6112.5 .S45 1984."

You could use that for a general overview of Greek theater, which will be included in this larger work.

You lost a point on this because you are late.
