Adventures in Database Searching: Subject Headings Online

Who's afraid of the BIG BAD database? Texas A&M University Libraries grants students, staff, and faculty access to an abundance of databases to explore for research and lifelong learning, but sometimes keyword searching these databases can be overwhelming. This online workshop will teach attendees how to identify subject headings to help them navigate through databases and optimize their searches. We will cover finding and using individual database thesauruses, Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH).

If you need accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to be able to participate in this event, please contact Courtney Nagel (cn95@tamu.edu) to communicate your needs at least 5 business days prior to allow us to facilitate a reasonable accommodation.
