- Focus only on the relevant chapters to incorporate research into your assignments.
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.
