How do I find a book when I dont know the author or title?
When you dont know exactly which book you need, you will have to search by either subject heading or keyword. Subject headings are a controlled vocabulary, much like the Yellow Pages in the phonebook. For example, if you are searching for books on the topic of drug use in sports, you could do a keyword search, combining the words drug and sports. Or you can search by the subject heading which is doping in sports. Subject headings are not always intuitive, but when you find the correct SH, you can do a much more focused search.
