Begin with an advanced keyword search.

  • Enter words that describe your topic (names, places, events, etc.).
  • When you find a book on your topic, examine its subject headings for relevance to your topic.
  • Click on a hyperlinked subject heading to perform subject heading search and retrieve related books.

Perform a subject heading search in Catalyst only if you know a valid Library of Congress subject heading.

Search "African Americans" to browse a list of relevant subject headings, such as:

  • African Americans -- Folklore
  • African Americans -- History -- 1863-1877
  • African Americans -- Massachusetts -- Boston -- Social conditions

Note that many Library of Congress subject headings relevant to African American studies do not begin with "African Americans":

  • American Drama -- African American Authors
  • Blacks in motion pictures
  • United States -- Race Relations
