Biological Sciences

• Start with keyword searching, but if you get too many items, try a subject search
• Subject search terms are controlled vocabulary, e.g., mosses - Northwest, Pacific or salmon fisheries - Northwest, Pacific
• After running a keyword search, look for a book title that sounds relevant. Click on the title to see the individual item, then scroll down to the Library of Congress Subject Headings. See if one of the subject headings might work and then re-run the search
• Use the Advanced Search to limit your search to words in the title, to specific library locations, to specific dates, or to other criteria
