Enter: history costume united states 
 

 

Often, a successful search strategy uses both keyword searching and subject searching:

  • Conduct a keyword search to find materials on your topic.
  • Examine the list of materials to locate items whose content seems to match your topic.
  • Once you have identified an item(s), look at the subject field to explore subject heading(s) that best match your research topic
  • Conduct a new search for material on your topic. This time, select subject search and use any of the subject headings that looked promising.
