Searching Library Catalogs

To find other books or journals, search the library catalog in both the title and subject field, unless you know the Library of Congress Subject Heading for the subject you are researching. Subject headings frequently differ from commonly used terms.For example, to find works on Native Americans, you would have to search for subject 'Indians of North America' - if you didn't know this subject heading, you would have better luck searching for Title words 'Native Americans health' and then looking at the subject headings assigned to appropriate works to then do a subject search.
