one of the best things you can do to get the most out of your catalog searches to
learn to search by subject headings and here we are on the detailed view
for the book Mere Christianity written by C.S. Lewis
and
one of the important things you look here's a subject you have the theology
doctrinal, popular works apologetics and christian ethics, and authors
now
what this means is that every book about doctrinal theology
is here
every book about apologetics is here and every book about christian ethics is here
so this tells you first of all what the book is generally about
it also shows you a good way to find other books about the same subjects so
suppose than for example who wanted to find more books about apologetics and lets keep
christian ethics in mind i could just click apologetics
this is going to take me to 584 books
this would be the same as if I had typed in
apologetics or if i had just done a subject search for apologetics at the top
there is a lot here. Well suppose i mention apologetics as it relates to christian ethics
so i could find more books like
Mere Christianity, I could do advanced search
let's do our subject heading that we discovered in apologetics
and lets add as a second
subject
heading, remember it said christian ethics that was a subject you know we found
i can do both those together
and you'll find we have ten books in our library about apologetics as it relates
specifically to christian ethics so a lot of great stuff there i would
encourage you as your
doing your search to whenever you find an interesting book, jot down the subject
heading and learn to search by subject heading. If you find an interesting book
search what other books are related to that too that subject it's a really
really great way
to expand your search. it's one of the most effective ways to get a ton
of resources on any given topic
a note on the left side of the page refine your search under topics these
are all more subject headings and they want to search apologetics christian
ethics doctrinal theology christian life i'd click to show more tab and it will
show show even more of the subject headings related this particular set of
searches
in this case when it refreshes
you can see conduct of life, etc these are all subject headings that you
may find useful so as you again you can do a subject heading directly by doing a
subject search
and then typing in just exactly what you see or whenever
a subject heading comes up you can just click the subject term and that will get your
