Books in libraries are assigned one or more subject headings. These are standardized terms that ensure books on the same topic can be found even if the keywords are different, as with Istanbul and Constantinople.

Use GILFind (click "Catalog" on the library's homepage or just start here) to search in

• The Georgia State University Library catalog (includes all of the Perimeter campus libraries)
• The Georgia State University Law Library
• All University System of of Georgia libraries (select ""University System of Georgia" instead of "Georgia State University" in the , or in the "Search Scope" dropdown in Advanced Search) 

Use the Browse Search link in GILFind to search by subject terms. (You can also search by subject in Advanced Search). 

When you find a good book, look at its subject headings in the catalog record.

Follow these to list other items on that topic. Or, use the subject heading terms in a new keyword search.

Almost every college or university library in the US will use the Library of Congress Subject Headings. WorldCat also uses them.
