Book Catalog
- Use Illinet Online to
find books held in the Elmhurst College library as well as books owned by
65 other Illinois academic libraries.
- An Any Word, Anywhere search offers a good way to start looking for
books by topic in Illinet Online. Use the main words describing your topic.
Use quotes to search multi-word term like "company aquisitions"
or "corporate mergers".
- A more precise way of searching is to use controlled vocabulary or an Browse
Subject search. Illinet Online's controlled vocabulary is known as Library
of Congress Subject Headings (or LC subject headings). Unlike keywords, you
can't simply make these up: you have to find out what the exact terms are
and enter them in Illinet as a subject heading search. Some examples of established
subject headings are:
Organizational change--Management
Corporate reorganizations--Management
Consolidation and merger of corporations--Management
- Use a Guided Keyword Search to combine two subject terms or concepts
into one search.
- Inter-Library
Loan ~ Illinet Online allows you to request books held by 65 academic
libraries in Illinois.
