Books at Emory

Keyword Search: Use keyword searching on a single term or to combine concepts (X AND Y) and to search for particular words or phrases that might appear in titles or notes or subjects: See examples below:

afrobrasileiro; coffee and Brazil; Japanese and Brazil; immigration and Brazil; black women Brazil; history dictatorship Brazil 

 

Subject Search  In the library catalog, books, videos and other materials are assigned Library of Congress (LC) subject headings based on their content. If you find a book that looks useful go into the record for that book and look at the subject headings used to describe the book -- click on any of them -- these are hyperlinks that will take you to a list of books with that particular subject heading that we have at Emory.  Here is a sample list of relevant subject headings for this class.

 

 

Browsing the Stacks - Another good strategy for locating books about Brazil is to go into the stacks and browse.  You will find books about Brazil throughout Woodruff Library but the largest concentrations of materials will be found in 

F2501-F2659   Brazilian History (7th Floor of Woodruff Library)

PQ9500-PQ9698.436   Brazilian Literature (5th Floor of Woodruff Library)
