| 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 | |
