About Library of Congress
Subject Headings
Most materials (books, journals, etc.) in the
library are classified according to the
Library of Congress
(LC) classification system. LC assigns call numbers, which we
use to shelve the books, by subjects.
We use
LC Subject
Headings in our online catalog. Learning to use them can help you
save time and find books you might not get using only keyword
searches.
Try this:
* Find a book
that is relevant to your project by doing a keyword search
in the
library catalog
* Choose one or
more of the results and click the title to see the full catalog
record
* Look at the
blue “subject links” and click on them to find other books that
are
in the same subject areas
