Keywords to Subjects in Databases

Recommendations:

  • Start with keywords in your database search.
  • Leverage subject terms IF they are available in the databases.

Notes:

  • Subject terms can be more effective (targeted); yet, more limiting at the same time!
  • Subject terms may not be applied to all formats or records depending on the database.
  • Some search tools have GREAT subjects, some don't have any!
