Search Tip : Using Subject Headings

Collins Library, like most academic libraries in the United States, uses Library of Congress Subject Headings to describe the content of books. In many ways, subject headings are a form of tagging, in that they represent the content of the material and provide ways for you to efficiently locate more materials that are conceptually related. See QueerLCSH for a comprehensive list of Library of Congress subject headings. Keep in mind other databases may use different subject terms.

Here are some examples related to this course:

Homosexuality -- Religious aspects

Gender nonconformity -- Religious aspects

Masculinity -- Religious aspects

Gay people -- Religious life

Add a religious tradition or location to further specify your results, for example:

Homosexuality -- Religious aspects -- Islam

Gender nonconformity -- Religious aspects -- Judaism

Gay people -- Religious life -- United States

Subject headings tend to lag behind terminology used today, meaning some subject headings may be outdated or considered incorrect (and even offensive). For example:

Transsexualism -- Religious aspects -- Christianity
