The Library uses the Library of Congress List of Subject Headings to organise the collection into specific subject areas. Library users can check for appropriate subject headings at the Information Desk, Level 2, Central Library. Once you identify the subject heading, you can use it to retrieve records on the precise topic. If you are not familiar with LC Subject Headings and how they are used, get advice and assistance from the Information Desk or the Reference Dept.
