Finding sources for humanities papers

Many of you are writing humanities papers this spring. Understanding Library of Congress subject headings will help you locate better source material.  Subject headings are what libraries use to catalog their materials. High schools tend to use the Dewey Decimal system; academic libraries use Library of Congress. Zip through this little booklet in 3 minutes for a quick tour.  If you have additional questions, please ask them.  Email your house librarian or libraryATcaltech.edu  Or stop by any library and speak to a librarian.
