In HOLLIS, use Expanded Search to search on the author and bibliography, e.g.: Subject words: flaubert and bibliography, to retrieve works which are entirely devoted to listings of primary and secondary sources or works which contain substantial bibliographical information (such as exhibition catalogs).
In addition to consulting the sources above, you may use HOLLIS and the MLA bibliography to locate individual author bibliographies.
To search for bibliographies that appeared as books or as journal articles, you may also use the MLA International Bibliography (3: Finding Journal Articles). A keyword search for the author's name and bibliography, e.g. zola and bibliography, will retrieve these items and the Find It @ Harvard link will lead to the HOLLIS record for the book or journal, or, in some cases, full-text links.
