Call Number Guide You can use this to find your book's call number in the stacks in Woodruff Library
You can search the catalog by the name of an author or the title of a book or journal.
There two other important types of searches you can do in the catalog.
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:
hispanic and identity; Latin America and race; belonging and race; Jose Rodo
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 course
