Introduction

The purpose of this guide to Hebrew Language studies and research is to provide you with a combined print and web-link source for the study and research of the Hebrew Language.

Searching in WebLUIS

There are two basic types of searches to perform in WebLUIS. Either search can be effective, but the results of the search can vary greatly.

Subject Searching

Subject searching is dependant upon the use of specific, official subject headings from the Library of Congress Subject Headings. These books, known affectionately as the "red books" can be found throughout the library. Consulting the "red books" will offer you many Library of Congress subject headings. This heading --

s = hebrew language

will be sufficient enough to begin your search for Hebrew Language study and research materials in the FIU Libraries.

Keyword Searching

The second method of searching by keywords can be very powerful if you remember that the word(s) you use can be located anywhere within a bibliographic record's text, and may or may not pertain to the subject or topic which you are searching. For example, if your topic required that you search the FIU Libraries Catalog for a Hebrew-English, English-Hebrew language dictionary, your keyword search command could be --

k = hebrew english dictionary
