1. What was discussed last Friday was the catalog system the CSUEB library uses, which is the Library of Congress Catalog.
2. words can be found in a broad range of material. subject headings are for specific topics. for example, fish is a word that can be used as a search term. marine conservation is a subject heading.
3. Using words, or keywords, will help you find much more results. Using subject headings are useful when researching for a much more specific topic.
note: sorry for the late blog post, again.

Good example for item 2.
In item 3, you're right, but perhaps you aren't aware that with word searches, you are searching all the indexes - author, title, subject headings, notes, etc. With subject heading searches, you search only the subject heading index.
