Using the Library Catalog
The first place to check for books on your topic is the Library Catalog. Here are some quick tips for effective catalog searches:
If you are looking for books by a writer, use the Author search (last name first).
If you want books about an author, use the Subject Heading Browse search (last name first).
Here are some subject headings you may find useful:
- Spain - Civilization- 20th century
- Spain - History - 20th Century
- Spain - Politics and Government
- Spain - Social Life and Customs- 20th century
- Popular culture--Spain--History--20th century
- Art, Modern--20th century--Spain
- Spanish literature--20th century
- Spain--Politics and government--1975-
Of course, you can also use keyword searches.
