The online catalog provides access to the collections of the Bowdoin College Libraries. The catalog contains electronic bibliographic records for books, video recordings, CD-ROMs, periodicals and sound recordings.
Most research begins with a subject search.
This function is both very powerful and very flexible in an online catalog. The best results are still obtained through use of standardized subject headings found in the Library of Congress Headings books. Subject headings may be subdivided into more specific categories, such as place or subtopic. You may discover other relevant subject headings to enter as search terms. Remember to try keyword searching.
