Subject Searching

Search by subjects rather than keywords for a more focused search.

Click in the box next to the phrase Suggest subject headings [4].
Enter search term(s) in the search box [5], and click on search [6].
 

When the list of subject headings is displayed, click in the box next to the most appropriate heading [7].
Click on ADD to enter into the search [8], and then click on search [9].
 

    Tip

  • Click on a subject heading to view related terms.
  • Select the Explode option to automatically search the heading selected and all related narrower terms.
  • Select the Major Concept option to limit your search to those articles where your subject heading is the major concept.
