Keywords

Keyword Search 

Use a keyword search to look for genres and topics.  A keyword search finds the keyword term anywhere in the library record.  When you do a keyword search, be sure to look at the subject terms used on relevant results and use them to narrow your search.

Use a keyword search, or a combined subject/keyword search, if you have multiple concepts to search. Remember that the subject term for film, in general, is "motion pictures", but genres may use the term "films".
