How do I find articles on a specific subject?
Answer
The easiest way to find articles on a topic is to start with the Camp library catalog at https://vcc-pdc.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/search?vid=01VCC_PDC:PDCCC , enter your search terms, and then limit your results with the filters on the right hand side of the screen. See the attached PDF for specific steps for a basic search.
Be careful with broad topics (e.g. engineering, American history), as they will result in a very large number of results.
