Library Catalog

1. In the search box, type the main nouns of your subject connected by the word AND.
2. Select “KEYWORD in Subject”

For instance, if your research topic is Joshua, type “Joshua AND Bible.” The word Bible should be included with most searches for names in the Hebrew Scriptures; otherwise, very common words such as Exodus, Ruth, Kings or Proverbs retrieve many irrelevant materials.
