Subject Headings
One way of finding books in DiscoverE is by inputting subject headings related to the topic you are researching. For example, if you are writing a paper on 20th century Arabic poetry, you could enter the following subject phrase in the subject field:
arabic poetry 20th century history and criticism
You will get a number of all the books we have in the library where this phrase is listed in the subject heading of the book record. If you want to look at English lanuage items, just filter out the language of choice from the column on the left.
For an in-depth list of interest to your topic, contact your subject librarian.
Language Resources
