More on Searching with Subject Headings

Subject search -  a search for major headings that contain your search words. Subject searches are best used for simple topics where the subject is obvious--a person, place, or thing.

 

If you use a sorted subject guide

(like Yahooligans!) to search for a site on the topic "Flags and Maps of the World," you'll need to click through a series of categories looking something like:

 

School Bell >

Social Studies >

Flags >

Flags and Maps of the World.

 

(As each link is clicked

>, the next link with become active. When you get to "Flags and Maps of the World," it will go to a sample page.)


That's a lot of clicking to get to the page you want!
