Finding
Books+:
Here are some selected subject terms which you can use
to search for subjects in the online
catalogs, and which may also be helpful in searching periodical indexes. Search for names of specific building materials or specific types of garden
structures, e.g.:Arcades (Architecture); try combining terms,
e.g.: landscape gardening AND streets. Most
of these headings can be modified with addition of some useful stock phrases,
e.g.: Case studies; Design & construction; Environmental
aspects; Handbooks, manuals; Standards.
