Keyword/Subject features Keyword –Finds words anywhere in record. –Look at records to see subject headings. –Search lots of terms, word variations Subject Headings –Controlled vocabulary –May not be “natural language” but may find more –Hierarchical arrangement helps narrow topic –Searches only the subject field

Searching Personal Names –Keyword searches Either order Try name variations, e.g., initials –Author/Subject Last name first (Western names) Consistent use Example: Mao Tse-tung and Mao Zedong
