TIPS:
When searching Library catalog, you might begin with a subject search. Examples of subject searches:
Religion and science
Goddess religion
Teresa, Mother, 1910-1997
Pilgrims and pilgrimages
Chartres Cathedral
Rastafari movement
If you are not sure of what subject to search, try using a keyword search. Keyword searching lets you search for words in the title, publisher, and subject heading fields. There are many ways to search library catalogs, so if you need assistance, don't hesitate to Ask a Librarian.
For some people, browsing the religious studies section of the Library's book stacks can be helpful. To do this use a call # range:
