How Do I Perform a Subject Search in The SIUE Catalog?

Subject searches are more precise than an author, title, or keyword search.

  • Enter a Library of Congress Subject Heading.  Some examples include: "Brazil--Economic conditions," "Multicultural education--United States," and "Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616 Criticism and interpretation."  If the subject heading is not known, perform a keyword search first to determine the subject heading.
  • From the Search by menu, choose Subject.
  • Click the "Search" button.
  • View the results.
