This guide will provide information about discovering books in the area of Education.
There are many categories, so the breakdown will be in two boxes.
NOTE: Recent electronic books will not be found on the shelves, so you will need to use the online catalog and search by keywords or subject headings.
Search by keyword or Subject Heading
In our book catalogs, keywords will be searched in titles, sometimes in table-of-contents, and in official subject headings.
Hint: Once you find a good title, from the detailed record use the Subject Headings to find other titles in a similar area.
Hint: Many titles are found side-by-side on the shelves by call number (see below), so browse the shelves.
Books are arranged on the shelves using a letter/number system, which align with official Subject Headings.
