Tips
for searching the catalog:
- The
vocabulary in the catalog and online databases is a controlled vocabulary. So,
there will be times when you will be unsure as to what is the subject assigned
by the Library of Congress. In
order to use the catalog to its fullest, try different methods, different strategies.
For example, when trying a keyword and getting relevant results, look what subject
was assigned to that particular title. Then, do a subject search to get more relevant
hits.
- An author
search will retrieve hits by the author NOT about the author. If you are
looking for information about the author or for literary criticism, try a SUBJECT
search under the author's last name.
- The
Library catalog is NOT an index to journal, magazine and newspapers articles;
it does NOT contain full text articles. If you need articles, use the Online
Databases or the link on this site Searching
for Articles.
