When researching within the Library Catalog or a Database consider a Subject search.
A subject heading is a specific word or phrase used to organize library sources by topic. Subject Headings are more concise than a Keyword search which, in contrast, will present a broad results list which may or may not be related to your topic.
Examples of Subject Headings
For sources interpreting literary works:
Name of person - Criticism and Interpretation
e.g. Hurston, Zora Neale - Criticism and Interpretation
(NOTE: Last name first, then first name)
For sources about specific people, enter the name of the person as the subject heading:
e.g. Dubois, W.E.B.
(NOTE: Last name first, then first name)
