Making the Most of Subject Searching

	The advantage of a subject search is that it provides a more focused search.
	Its disadvantage is that it's hard to know what LCSH term will be used for a topic.
	One good strategy is to browse the Library of Congress Subject Headings books, but they are only at the Library.  So here is what we recommend you do with the Library Catalog, itself:

1. First, use your own terms in a "Words or Phrase" search.
2. Then look at the records for books that are on your topic.
3. Jot down any good subject terms that are listed and use them later in subject searches or
4. Click on the linked subject term.

Subject Headings are found either on the right side of your search results, or to find ones more like a specific book or audiovisual material, click on Details for that item and then click on the Catalog Record tab.
