Catalog Search Tips

Search for books or journals, or see what materials UNC-Chapel Hill Libraries own on your topic, using the catalog.

E-book (follow link for online access: Growing Up Global: the changing transitions to adulthood in developing countries

Library of Congress (LC) subject headings can be helpful when searching the catalog. Take a look at the sample subject headings below. An excellent strategy is to start with a simple keyword search in the catalog and identify one or more relevant books. Then you can look at the LC subject headings given to those titles, and you can follow the subject heading links in the catalog to find other, similar books, or you can use the terms in the subject headings to revise your search strategies.

 Keyword Search: children and social conditions and haiti

 Browse by LC Subject Heading: Child labor

 Browse by LC Subject Heading: Children's rights -- Africa

 Browse by LC Subject Heading: Child soldiers
