catalogs. Useful in a pinch when you may not have time to wait for book delivery
Keyword vs. Subject vs. Title
What is the difference between a keyword and a subject?
Do a search in the catalog for the same word using all three of the above limits.
Subject

• Keyword • The cataloging is looking for anything that will
match the sequence of letters that you entered (including misspellings, singular, plural – the catalog will NOT correct these things Nor will it think for you.
Subject
• Subject • The computer is looking for your sequence of
letters, but only within the Subject (about) field. It is not looking for the letters in the title, or description (keyword) boxes.
Title
• Title• The catalog will only look for your entry in the
TITLE field…
