How to Find Czech Materials Using Subject Headings

A subject heading is a specific word or phrase used to find and organize books and articles by topic. Subject headings can be a great way to easily find things related directly to your topic.  When library materials are cataloged, they are usually given subject headings to make them more easily searchable by people interested in those subjects.

To see a list of all subject headings currently being used for Czech materials in the library catalog, you can choose Subject List from the drop-down menu of search criteria and type "Czech Republic" or related terms.  This will give you a list of all subjects using these terms, and you can view the books or items associated with those subjects. Please take notice that subject headings "Czech Republic" and "Czechoslovakia" do not always overlap.  Both headings should be checked to gain a sense of a library's complete collection on Czech history,

Here are a few examples of subject headings:

  • Art, Czech
  • Art--Czech Republic — Bohemia
  • Art — Czechoslovakia
  • Czech Republic — History
  • Czechoslovakia — History
  • Bohemia (Czech Republic) — History
  • Moravia (Czech Republic) — History
  • Czech Republic — Civilization
  • Czechoslovakia — Civilization
