The library's online catalog defaults to a keyword search, but sometimes you can get more accurate results searching by subject heading. Listed below are a few useful subject headings to find books, ebooks, DVDs, and streaming media in the catalog. You can choose a subject search from the drop down menu under the search strip on the catalog. I've also placed a link to the catalog below.
Subject Headings:
If you're looking for academic articles related to history, the following databases are best to search. Remember to search by keyword instead of full sentences, and it's often best to combine keywords with the term "and" (ie segregration and faubus). Also remember to select "full-text" when you search in these databases to get to a full article.
