Suggested Search Strategies

When searching your topic in the catalog, the following subject headings (as well as many others not listed here) can prove very effective:

Paleontology- Encyclopedia
Paleontology- Bibliography
Paleontology- (insert geographic location) for example, Paleontology- New Mexico
Paleontology- (insert time period) for example, Paleontology- Jurassic

The above words as well as many others can also be used to conduct a keyword search. It may be helpful to narrow your search down by the species order, time period, and other various limiters. An example of a keyword search would be :

(mammal and Cenozoic)
(Ornithischia and Abrictosaurus)
(dinosaur and Jurassic)
