Use the the following to search for cultural, economic, financial, political & legal aspects of any country or people group.
To get information on the customs of a country or people group, simply use "customs" as a subject heading. Add the name of the people group and/or the name of the country or region. For example:
su:ghegs customs
NOTE: "su:" is the field code that limits the search in the Discovery catalog to only the subject field; "ti:" limits the search to just the title field; "au:" limits the search to just the author field.
For information on the culture of a country or people group, use the term "ethnology" as either a subject or a keyword. Add the name of the people group and/or the name of the country or region. For example:
su:arab ethnology
buganda ethnology
Every search can be further focused by using the Search Tools in the column on the left of the results list. For example:
1. Limit the Year from 2019 to 2022 for materials published during this period.
2. Limit the Format to Books
3. Limit the Language to English
4. If you haven't planned ahead to make use of our Interlibrary Loan service, limit the Held by Library to The Master's University so you only get results that are available in or through the Powell Library.
Additional Subject Search Terms: look up your search terms in the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) to retrieve variant terms, narrower terms and related terms for your topic. For example the term "finance" retrieves a list of over 45 narrower terms.
Be sure to add the the name of the people group and/or the name of the country or region to each of your chosen Subject Terms. For example:
