Subject Searching in the Library Catalog

The Subjects search uses special terms to organize books by subject. One of the types of special terms are called Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH for short). If you type in your keywords as a subject search, you may not get much back. For example:

If you entered a Library of Congress Subject search for: women marketing you would get no records!

But if you searched using the LCSH term, women consumers you'd see the library has around 10 books for this particular subject heading.
