Subject Headings (in MERLIN Online Catalog)

Note about using links to MERLIN (U. Mo System) online catalogs:  Although the subject headings are linked directly to the online subject headings, it is worth typing the suggested subject heading into MERLIN search box and selecting "Subject (LC)") subject search because then the search will provide related subject headings, and not just the items under the suggested heading.  In addition, the links are only to MERLIN, and so new searches in either MOBIUS (Missouri) or WorldCat (world's largest library catalog) (alternative free WorldCat)  will need to be rerun by typing in the suggested subject heading.
