Subject Searching
![]() |
You'd think you could enter any words that describe your topic as a Subject Search in the Online Catalog. However, the Subject searches use special terms to organize books by subject. These are called Library of Congress Subject Headings |
For example: If you entered a Subject Browse or Subject Keywords search for Cookbooks, you would get no results!
But if you searched using the LCSH term--Cookery-- you'd see the library has many books.
