Finding Books, Journals, and Videos: Searching the Library Catalog
Use Brandeis Library OneSearch to search the online catalog of the Brandeis Library. Choose the Library Catalog option (the default) to search for books, journals, and videos in the library collections.
If you have already identified the book(s) you need, you can use the Advanced Search to search by Title or by Author to locate the item(s) in the library.
If you are trying to identify books that will be useful for your research, search by keyword, and use the Subjects listed in the left margin to find related materials.
Many of the books you can consult to find ideas for your assignment are classified in similar ways:
Bible – In literature
Bible – In music
Bible – In motion pictures
Note that the Library of Congress uses the term “motion pictures,” not film.
Note that subject heading searches are very specific – you can only do them if you’ve identified a Library of Congress subject heading in advance. For most searching, you can just use keywords, like with Google.
