Animal Studies: Books

LC (Library of Congress) Subject Headings are helpful for finding books and other materials included in most academic library catalogs. Using subject heading links will produce more precise results than keyword searches. For example, try with a search with key words, such as humane and meat. Then peruse the records of relevant items to identify specific LC subject heading links. A few examples:
