- SUBJECT searching requires use of Library of Congress Subject Headings.
The terms below are examples of subject headings related to philosophy:
Subject searching is an effective and precise method of searching the catalog, however, KEYWORD searching has benefits, also.
- Try a KEYWORD search if you are unsure of the exact title or the correct subject heading to use. Search using two or three of the most significant words from the title or subject you are trying to find. Place phrases in "quotation marks."
- Connect words with AND, OR, NOT to focus your search.
- Try truncation at the end of a word stem to retrieve singular, plural, and other variations of the word. Use an asterisk (*) to truncate from 1 to 5 characters. Use a double asterisk (**) to include word endings with an unlimited number of characters.
KEYWORD Searching Tips |
· Add * to the root of a word expands a term up to five letters.
Add** to retrieves terms of any length:
philosoph* = philosophy, philosophies, philosopher, philosophers, philosophical, etc.
· Use AND between words to narrow your search:
Kant AND moral philosophy
truth and theor*
· Use OR between words to expand your search and
group words with parentheses:
philosophy AND (medieval* OR middle ages)
