Use keyword searching or MeSH terms to find materials by topic or subject. Print or write down the citation (author, title,etc.) and the location information (shelf number and branch library). Note the circulation status. When you pull the book from the shelf, scan the bibliography for additional sources. Watch for book-length bibliographies and annual reviews on your subject; they list citations to hundreds of books and articles in one subject area.
