Electronic Search Strategies: Subject 

 

A subject search involves searching only in the subject field of the database. Your library catalog has subject headings assigned to each item indexed.

 

The importance of knowing the correct subject heading to use is illustrated by this example.

To find this book on the people of North Africa, the subject heading Ethnology--Africa, North must be used.

 

In most cases it is more productive to do a keyword search in your school library catalog.
