What if I want to browse books or government documents at Pollak Library?
|
Books: Most materials in this library, with the exception of government documents, are classified and shelved by call numbers according to the Library of Congress classification system.

Government Documents: Government documents are classified and shelved by government agency or department according to the Superintendent of Documents (SuDocs) classification system. To view a list of relevant government documents, search the Library Catalog by Subject: environmental and then limit to Government Documents only.

What books or documents does Pollak library have on my specific topic?
|
The Library Catalog uses Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). The Library Catalog may direct you from an incorrect to a correct LCSH, e.g., Rainforests see Rain Forests. The Library Catalog may also link you to related LCSH that you may wish to consult.
| |||||||||||||
|
If a SUBJECT search in the Library Catalog doesn't find any materials, try again using a KEYWORD search. For example, garbage disposal is not a valid LCSH, but you can find relevant titles searching by KEYWORDS, checking to see the subject headings assigned to the most relevant titles, and then searching by those subjects. Books about garbage disposal have been assigned the subject heading refuse and refuse disposal; therefore, next do a search SUBJECT: refuse and refuse disposal. | |||||||||||||
|
After you have a set of records on your topic, you can choose to limit your search to get more relevant results, e.g., Material Type = Maps & Atlases, Where item is located = Documents, Year of publication = After 1995. |
