Catalog Search Tips

Searching for books in the Library's catalog is often best done by either Keywords or Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). Start with a Keyword search and identify one or more relevant books. Then look at the LC subject headings given to those titles. You can follow the subject heading links in the catalog to find similar books, or you can use the terms in the subject headings to revise your search strategies. Here's some sample searches.

Keyword Search: Israel cinema
Keyword Search: "Israeli cinema"
Keyword Search: movies Israel

LC Subject Heading: "Motion pictures -- Israel"
LC Subject Heading: "Motion picture industry -- Israel"

Keyword Search: "My Michael"

Keyword Search: Israel cinema Zionism
