Library Search is Emory's main search tool to find books, journals, videos, government documents, microfilm collections and other materials.
Library Search User Guide The user guide provides hints for searching the Emory Libraries 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:
quilombos and brazil, Afro Mexico, black and cuba, African and Latin America, slavery and Peru
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.

Black people--Mexico--History
