Using the Library catalogue

If you want a book on a particular subject, but do not yet have any details, you need to carry out a subject or keyword search.

Try keyword searching first. If you find too many books you need to use more specific keywords. If you find too few books you need to use more general keywords.

The subject covered by every book in the Library catalogue has been listed in terms of a "Library subject heading". It is important to use a subject term corresponding to one of those used in the list; if there appears to be nothing under that heading, try expressing the subject in a different form.
