Subject Headings



Using subject headings (3)

Another way to use a Library of Congress Subject Heading is to enter it in a subject Browse search. (Note: For "Browse" and "Exact" search modes, there is no need to use single quotation marks to keep words togther as a phrase. These search modes automatically treat the words you enter as a phrase.)

Human engineering in a subject browse search

In this way, you can display all the subject heading “strings” that begin with the subject heading you entered.

Browse list from searching Human engineering

Then, for instance, if you want to select all of the records that contain your subject as the entire line, without any qualifications, you can click on that link on the list (in this case, the first link on the above list). Note that this is equivalent to doing an Exact subject search of "human engineering".

Human engineering as SH without qualifier

You can also browse through the list retrieved by a Browse subject search to get ideas for narrowing your topic. For instance, you might be interested in the works that contain the subject heading line, “Human engineering—Government policy—United States.” You can navigate through the "Browse" retrieval list by using the "Previous" and "Next" buttons at the top of the page.
