How to find books

Using subject headings

Once you have found a suitable record in the library catalogue you can use it to find other material on the same subject. If you click on "Show Detailed Record" you can use links to search for related material. For instance, you can click on the author's name to find other items by the same person, or you can click on the assigned subject headings to find other material on the same subject.

Subject headings (also known as descriptors) provide a concise description of the content of a book or article. When viewing records, you should also look for subject headings relating to your topic that you may not have considered.
