Unit 5: Search Tools: The Online Catalog
Lesson 11: Search by Subject
To find terms listed within the subject fields of each catalog record, select “Subject” in the “Search by” box, and enter your search term(s) in the search field.
Caution: Although searching by “Subject” is an option, selecting this search will greatly narrow your results. Searching by “Keyword” will yield the most results, especially at the beginning of your search.
Search Tips
- You can search by “Exact Phrase” by selecting “Yes” below the “Search by” search field
- For more information about searching by subject, See Unit 4, Lesson 8: Subject Headings
