Catalog Search Tips
Try exploring CrossSearch for print books, e-books, and articles related to your topic. For only books, you may want to try our basic catalog. If Holy Cross does not have a book you need, you can use WorldCat to search for books from other libraries and then request these books through Interlibrary Loan.
Search tip: Search for books by either Keywords or Subject Headings. Start with a Keyword search and identify some relevant books. Then look at the subject headings for those books. You can follow the subject heading links in the catalog to find similar books, or you can use the terms in the subject headings to identify other keywords to try.
Example Keyword Search:
Italian Renaissance art
Example Subject Headings:
Art, Italian
Art, Renaissance -- Italy
Art, Italian -- Classical influences
