All items in our catalog PittCat are labeled with Subject Headings to help users quickly find the subjects they need. 

Subject headings describe the main subjects or topics covered in a book, as shown by the headings in the red box on the left. All headings are hotlinked to other materials on that same topic.  Simply click on a heading and PittCat will do a search and retrieve all ohter materials on that topic.

Subject headings can also suggest alternative search terms.  In order to be as precise as possible about the meaning of a subject, subject headings use very specific, controlled vocabulary.   You can look up the right headings for your research by using the Subject Heading Indexes  located at the ground floor Hillman Library Information Desk.

Once you find the headings that fit your topic, you can search those headings by selecting the Subject Heading limiter in the Search By: menu.
