Resources Available at the Library (Anthropology 1: Casqueiro) To begin, go to the Library’s web site: http://www.chabotcollege.edu/Library/ or Your Search Strategy New to the Library? Use Searchpath, Chabot’s Library Tutorial: http://tinyurl.com/3c3gol Subject Headings Sometimes instead of searching by keywords, you may have better luck finding materials by consulting the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). This is important because you can sometimes get better search results. For example, articles, books, and web sites on the "death penalty" will usually be indexed under "Capital Punishment." To browse such headings, they are in the four thick red volumes on the left side of the reference desk. They are also listed in the Library Catalog and in some of the subscription databases.
