Subject
Searching in the Library Catalog
You'd think
you could enter any topic as a Subject search in the Library
Catalog. However,
the Subject search uses special terms to organize books by
subject. These are called
Library
of Congress Subject Headings. If you enter
your keywords as a Subject search, you may not get much back. For
example:
If you entered a Subject Heading
search for "acquired immune
deficiency" you
would get no books!
But if you searched
using the Library of Congress Subject term, AIDS (Disease)
you'd
see the library has around 100 books.
