Searching the Library Catalog for information on the History of Economic Ideas

From the UNR Library's Main Menu, select Library Catalog

The Library Catalog provides information about books, magazine and journal titles, audiovisual materials, and some government publications held by the UNR Libraries and other college libraries in northern Nevada.

• For subject searching in the Library Catalog, the most effective options are:
  
  Subject
  • (search words in title, name & subject fields by typing any combination of keywords or constructing a Boolean search statement)
     
  Library of Congress Subject Headings
  • Searching by Library of Congress Subject Headings is often more precise
    and may yield more relevant information than does Subject searching.
    Below are examples of recommended LC subject headings:
     
    • Affirmative action
    • Capitalism
    • Classical School of Economics
    • Educational vouchers
    • Feminist economics
    • Intercultural communication
    • International economic relations--Social aspects
    • Keynesian economics
    • Marxian economics
    • Mercantile system
    • Neoclassical School of Economics
    • Physiocrats
    • Subsidies (related to above topic of Educational vouchers)
       
• Searching by personal names:
   
  • You may use the Catalog’s Author Search to find an author's collected writings, or search a person's name as a Library of Congress Subject Heading to locate books about the individual. Some examples are given below:
    
    Library of Congress Subject Heading Search:
    • Marx, Karl 1818-1883

A search in the Catalog normally results in a list of titles, authors or subject headings. Choose the most relevant entries and display the information for individual titles. Carefully check the Location information for each title you want, since the collections are housed in several different libraries, departments, and branches. Likewise, check the Status of each item to determine its current availability.

Note: The Catalog does not provide information about articles in magazines and journals, or most government publications held by the participating libraries.
