Finding and getting books
When searching library catalogs keep in mind:
- Alternating between keyword and subject searching will probably be the most fruitful approach.
- When you're searching for books you need to be much more general with your language.
- Use the information in the detailed record to help you assess whether or not the book will be useful.
- Remember that in some cases, you may simply need to turn to other resources, possibly including book reviews, to get detailed information about a book before you order it.
