How to find books for Dr. Richard’s Corrections Course By Ben Amata
None of these four titles appear to be on this topic. What are some other terms that might be useful? • Perhaps incarcerated mothers
This search seems to retrieve better results. • If we examine the first record, we can note that it has a subject or concept that deals with our topic. • It is Children of women prisoners
If we click on the subject in the record it actually will perform a search for us. • We can do a search on the whole subject by going to the search box and eliminating in this case the subheading united states.
So now we know there are 4 titles with the subject: Children of women prisoners – United States • And 2 additional titles with just the general heading: Children of women prisoners
You can always do a keyword search to find something on a topic then look at the subject headings to see if there is more material using a concept rather than keywords. • You can always ask for assistance by going to the reference desk or calling it at 278-5673.
