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: Palestinian political movements

 LC Subject Heading: "Palestinian Arabs--Government policy--Israel."

 Keyword Search: Japanese film violence

 LC Subject Heading: "Horror films--Japan--History and criticism."

 Keyword Search: travel Japan bibliography
