Subject Headings

All books, whether in print or online, are assigned subject headings, usually by the Library of Congress.  These subject headings are useful in identifying specific resources even when the title of the book may not be all that helpful.  Sometimes, however, the subject heading might not be the one that immediately springs to mind.  Here are a few hints:

American literature - 20th century

Beat generation

Women and literature -- United States -- History -- 20th century

Beat generation -- Interviews

Beat generation in literature

If all else fails, do a keyword or title search in either the UT Tyler Library Catalog or in WorldCat, find at least one book on your topic, look at the bottom of the record to the subject headings, and click on those hotlinks to find other books on the same subject.
