Searching using Subjects

All books in PittCat are labeled with Subjects to help users quickly find related titles. 

 

Subjects describe the main topics covered in a book, as shown by the headings in the red box. All subjects are linked to other materials on that same topic. Simply clicking on a subject will do a search and retrieve other materials on that topic. Subjects can also suggest alternative search terms.

Note: ebooks are not included in the call number search, as they are not cataloged with call numbers.
