Think about which search terms might be the most helpful and how you can eliminate results that you don't need. Use terms like AND, OR, and NOT between terms to broaden or narrow your search.
There are many variations of subject terms, researcher may use language you aren't used to, or some terms may be outdated, based on when the resource was published. One way to use that to your advantage is to look at records in the library catalog related to your topic and see what "Subject" terms are listed in the record. Those terms may be ones you want to use to narrow your search.
Our resources use Library of Congress (LOC) classifications and call numbers. While most items related to Education will be under the classification L (this encompasses various aspects of education, including its history, theory, practice, and special aspects), it is possible to find other related materials in different areas. Please see Classification Codes for Browsing for more information about subject classification ranges.
