The search box above provides a short cut to jump to the MIT Libraries catalog. From the home page (https://libraries.mit.edu/), you would select the second tab to arrive at the same place.

Subject headings are a great way to find books on a similar topic. They are created by the Library of Congress. In general it's not wise to try and guess what a subject heading might be. Instead, try these techniques:

• From the record of a book that comes up in your search, click on one of the subject headings to see other titles on the same topic.
• Try a word that you think might be in the heading, and change the search field to subject. 

Follow the directions in the Google doc to locate at least one book in the Hayden Stacks.
