Gabriella Reznowski is Librarian for Foreign Languages and Cultures at Washington State University. She is also Library Subject Liaison to the Department of Foreign Languages and Cultures, Film Studies, and Comparative Ethnic Studies.

Reznowski (Washington State Univ.) has written an accessible, thorough, and highly useful guide to doing research in Canadian literature. The guide adheres to the template established throughout the "Literary Research" series, outlining the basics of online searching; general literary reference sources; library catalogs; print and electronic bibliographies, indexes and annual reviews; scholarly journals; periodicals, newspapers, and reviews; microform and digital collections; Web resources; and manuscripts and archives. All offer examples of resources and tools specific to Canadian literary research. The very practical closing chapter, "Researching a Thorny Problem," posits a particular author, in this case Morley Callaghan, whose reputation waxed and waned throughout his career. Reznowski suggests resources and strategies that could assist students in researching a particular time period within Callaghan's writing life. The chapter on archives is excellent, too, providing student researchers with sound advice about what to do in advance of an archival visit, the nature of archival research, what to expect when visiting an archive, and how to work with the materials found there. This book should find a place in every academic library that supports research in Canadian literature. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and graduate students.
