Finding Books-Subject Headings

Subject searching for books in the Library's catalog is often best done by beginning with a Keyword Search . Start with a Keyword Search and identify one or more relevant books. Then look at the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) given in the Full Records of those titles. You can follow the subject heading links in the catalog to find similar books, or you can use the terms in the subject headings to revise your search strategies.

Keyword search: yucatec maya language

Once you review the results of this search, you can find a title relevant to your interests and look carefully at that particular book's record. For example. the title Spoken Yucatec Maya, has been cataloged with two subject headings:
