One good strategy when you are searching the library catalog is to begin with a simple keyword search to identify one or more relevant books:

Keyword Search: business and case studies

Once you have located a relevant item, you can look at the item's Library of Congress (LC) Subject Headings and follow the subject heading links in the catalog to find other, similar books. The LC Subject Headings from the academic book example are listed below.

LC Subject Heading: Corporations - case studies

LC Subject Heading: Management - case studies

In the Advanced search feature one can choose to limit a search to Case Study by scrolling down the screen and clicking in the Document Type box. This is also one of the few times that it is advised to limit the search to Full Text as not all documents are full text and clicking on the Old Well logo will not transfer to any more text.
