You'd think
you could enter any topic as a Subject search in the catalog. However,
the Subject Heading search uses standardized terms to organize records by
subject. These are called Library
of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH for short). If you enter
your terms as a Subject search, you may be directed to a
standardized LCSH.
For
example:
If you entered
assertive
behavior as a Subject Heading search (see below) you
would be directed to search for
Assertiveness
(Psychology) because
subject searching uses standardized terms to
organize subjects.
So if you searched using the standardized term
Assertiveness
(Psychology)
you'd see that the catalog has over 30 entries.
