This is just a sample of what the ACC library has available for your research needs. The titles listed are mostly anthologies including a variety of authors and titles. Please note that when searching the catalog, all authors included in an anthology will not appear in a catalog search. When searching the catalog, think in terms of the author's nationality, genre that they wrote (poetry, short-story or novel) and the time period that their work was published. This exercise will help you narrow down what antholog(ies) to consult.
For example, if you'd like to find something more about "The Gift of the Magi" by O'Henry. The "The Gift of the Magi" is a short story published in the early Twentieth Century in the United States. O'Henry was an American novelist. So, type in the catalog: "twentieth century" and American and short story"
