Searching Simon, the Library 's online catalog
For Subjects
- Start with women, look at the subject that are retrieved beginning with the word, and select an appropriate one.
- Keyword: women and another keyword, e.g. women and education.
- Once you find items that are on the topic you want, look at the subject headings and click on those
- Note that you may want to go back to a keyword search and search for women and education
and renaissance, since there is no one subject heading that covers all three concepts.
- For authors and titles, use the author or title search, or use both if you only know the last name of the author
- For books that you want but that are not in our collection, or are checked out, click on the Connect NY icon near the top of the page:
and then Request Item. You'll need your Le Moyne ID and bar code number.
