Library of Congress Subject Headings

Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) are a standardized way of organizing and categorizing books and other materials in libraries. Think of them as a labeling system that helps you find books on the same topic, no matter what words the author used in the title.

You can use the browse subject headings function in SDCCD Books+ to discover prominent subject headings in our collection. Keep in mind that subject headings are a controlled vocabulary predetermined by the Library of Congress; therefore, they do not work like keywords.
