Often, a successful search strategy uses both keyword searching and subject searching:
Begin with a keyword search to find materials on your topic.
Examine the list of materials to locate items in which the content seems to match your topic.
Once you have identified an item(s), look at the Topical subject(s) to determine what subject heading(s) best matches your topic.
Re try your search selecting subject search using any of the subject headings that looked promising.
