Browsing the Catalog
Search by Subject for Books Related to Politics
You can perform a subject search in the UNT Library Catalog, A"Subject Heading" search is often a good starting point. Your results will display the number of titles we have under that general heading, and then under a series of sub-headings, which often focus on specific religions or related items. Use the red Library of Congress Subject Headings books available on each floor of the library to identify more specific subject headings you can use in the library catalog. You can also perform more keyword searches. The catalog will look for your search terms anywhere in the library item record (i.e. title, author, subject, notes), allowing you to perform a more targeted search.
When you have located the materials you are interested in, write down the call number and title and check the Call Number Location Guide to find the book on the shelves or present it to a staff person at the Reference or Circulation Desks for help.
