Library of Congress subject headings are a standardized way to organize library resources by topic, allowing you to find materials on specific subjects more efficiently. These headings act as labels that group books and other resources under uniform terms, making searches more comprehensive and relevant. You can take advantage of these subject headings by entering them into the library catalog's search bar to discover a range of materials associated with a topic. These headings often include subdivisions, allowing for refined searches based on aspects like location, time period, or form of the resource, helping you pinpoint exactly what you need.
