Bioethics: Searching and Browsing for Books
When you're first starting to search the online catalog for good books
on your topic, you might be tempted to do a keyword search for your
subject. However, searching "subject headings" is an even better way
to get books that are sure to be about a particular subject. The subject
headings are assigned to every book when it is cataloged, and describe,
using a controlled set of terms, what the book is about. Below are some
major subject headings relevant to bioethics.
Agriculture -- Moral and ethical aspects
Animal rights
Animal welfare
Bioethics
Biology -- Social aspects
Environmental ethics |
Ethics, evolutionary
Laboratory animals -- Moral and ethical aspects
Medical ethics
Research -- Moral and ethical aspects
Science -- Moral and ethical aspects
Science -- Social aspects |
If you would rather browse through books and journals in the library's
bookstacks, first you need to know where to start. Because bioethics
is such an interdisciplinary subject, books and journals are scattered
throughout the Libraries' collections. However, the call number ranges
listed below should be of some help to you in finding areas with relevant
books. Remember that, in general, when you find a good book on a topic,
the ones near it on the shelf will probably be "near it" (or similar)
in subject. To find out on which floor these books are located, check
the charts located at the reference desk, in the elevators, and online.
