Finding Books
Use library catalogs to find books, videos, government documents, journals, magazines, and newspapers. Davidson Library WorldCat contains information about materials owned by Davidson and libraries worldwide. You may also search in WorldCat Classic to find materials held in libraries around the world.

When searching for books and other materials in a catalog, try searching by keyword, author, or title. You may also search by Library of Congress subject headings. To locate appropriate subject headings, do a keyword search and then browse records. To search by subject heading, do an advanced search in Davidson Library WorldCat and choose "Subject" in the dropdown menu. Helpful subject headings include:
