Subject Headings & Call Numbers
One of the best ways to target your searches is via a Subject Heading in the Advanced Search page of Worldsearch.
Subject Headings are far more precise search terms than the default Keyword searches, and a Subject Heading directly reflects what an item is about, rather than returning incidental results.
They can be difficult to discover, though, so here is a selection of Subject Terms, and Call Numbers (also known as Shelf Numbers).
You can also mix and match these, like: Television broadcasting AND Censorship
This is not an exhaustive selection, but can get you started.
Note: Browsing the Library shelves at these numbers is fantastic for finding related items-especially if the item you thought you want is currently checked out!
