Finding Books in QuickSearch
The Library catalog is the gateway to all information resources located in the Rutgers University Libraries. Use keywords--Title Keyword or Subject Keyword-- to search for the appropriate materials. Some examples:
- Baseball and Labor Unions
- Sports and Economics
- Labor Relations and Basketball
The most effective way to search for books is to use the subject headings assigned to each topic, company, or person. Below is a list of subject headings that are related to the sports industry.
- Baseball players--Labor Unions--United States
- Baseball--Economic aspects
- Collective Bargainng--Baseball
- Sports Administration
- Sports--Economic Aspects
These examples use 'Baseball"; you should of course substitute your target sport when doing a subject heading search.
NOT FINDING WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR?
