Keyword searches all parts of the catalog record, including title, subject, and table of contents (if available)
Examine the Subject Headings of the items found in the keyword search
Subject headings help to bring together items on the same topic, no matter how the author chose to name their book or chapters
Thinkbroadly about search terms for your topic
Unlike articles, books tend to be broader in scope, and thus the subjects assigned to them are broader.
For example, if you are interested in the Shanghai dialect, there may not be many entire books about the dialect, so you would need to look at broader subjects such as Chinese language dialects or Wu dialects
