Should I search by Keyword or Subject?
Keywords are everyday terms used to describe a topic. Subject headings are the agreed-upon terms designated by the Library of Congress and assigned to each item in ANTPAC. In the Sciences, it is very powerful to search with the proper subject heading. However, for new ideas, there might not yet be a formal subject heading. In this case, keywords may be your best option.
