Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH)

LC Subject Headings makes research much more efficient and effective..

LCSH is a standardized, controlled vocabulary used in most library catalogs.  These terms are used in the Subject index field in all of the resource records.  The use of these normalized subjects makes it possible for the researcher (you) to find resources on the same topic even though authors, scholars and even you might use any number of other words for the same idea.

LCSH will identify variant terms, related terms, narrower terms and/or broader terms, which can be used to either further your search or refine your search queries.

Search the Library of Congress Subject Headings to obtain more accurate as well as additional terminology to assist in finding more resources.
