Keyword Searching | |
Typically, when you search, you will use Keywords. Simply enter the basic ideas/keywords of your topic in the search box. The computer will search for books containing those keywords in the title, subjects, and descriptions of the books. | |
Subject Searching | |
Subject searching is more "powerful" than keyword searching. It allows you to use a specific vocabulary to find books in the catalog. To find a good subject, look at the display page of a book you already like. Simply click on the subject link to run a search | |
Some sample subjects for this project are: | |
Human Beings -- Origin | |
Evolution (Biology) | |
Brain -- Evolution | |
