Finding Book Chapters, also called Book Articles:

To find chapters within books in Library OneSearch, do a keyword search on your topic, whether your topic is an idea, a period of history, or a person. A keyword search will search multiple fields of the record for a book, such as title, author, contents note, etc.

Example: nigerian drama

A keyword search on nigerian drama returns 1 record, for the following book:

Nigerian drama doesnt appear in the title or in the subject headings, but it does appear in the following chapter title, which may be of interest:
