the Subject Cataloging Manual Quick Tip
Searching the Subject Cataloging Manual: Subject Headings |
In this Quick Tip, designed
and developed by Library Services' Instructional Design and Training
Division for Cataloging Distribution Service, you
will learn how to do
focused searches in the Subject Cataloging Manual: Subject
Headings (SCM:SH) using either a Simple
Search or an Advanced Search in 3-4
minutes. If you need instruction in basic Cataloger's Desktop
searching techniques, please work through the Searching
Quick Tip first. You may leave this tutorial at any time by
clicking on the Cataloger's
Desktop banner at the top of each page.
In many instances, it is better to search in a specific SCM:SH section rather than searching the entire manual.
