Catalog/Book Search Tips
Keywords can be any terms, but the catalogs only search brief descriptions (title, author, subjects) of books, and not the full-text. Search terms should be words that are likely to appear in the title of a book rather than something very specific. (e.g. Search for "Title IX" instead of "How has Title IX affected women's participation in college athletics?")
Subject searching retrieves all works on a topic, but you must use "official" subject headings to be successful. Some examples of relevant subject headings include:
