Books/Book ChaptersSubject HeadingsSubject headings allow you to search library catalogs for materials on a particular topic. Often subject heading searching can be more productive than searching by simple keywords. Listed here are some major subject headings of interest for research in Urban Studies. Copies of the complete set of the Library of Congress Subject Headings are available at the reference desk in the library. Architecture -- Human factors Subjects Headings for the topic of Sprawl Cities and Towns -- Growth Call NumbersBrowsing the library shelves by call number ranges is another strategy for locating information on a topic; call numbers can help you get to the "right neighborhood" in the library stacks. HE 305-311 | Urban Transportation Remember, too, that you are not just limited to what we own in our Library. Whenever you are searching, you have the option of expanding your results by clicking on the SUMMIT button in the upper right hand corner of the results screen. This automatically repeats your search in the SUMMIT catalog of the ORBIS/CASCADE Alliance. If you find an item in that catalog that you'd like to see, click on the "REQUEST THIS ITEM" link and follow the directions on the screen.
