Perform a KEYWORD search in the catalog (http://uclid.uc.edu/search/X), using key concepts that interest you, such as:

From the results, identify an item or two that is most relevant to your topic, look at the record and identify the SUBJECT heading that best represents your interest.  In this case, the SUBJECT heading is “Diabetes in Children.” A SUBJECT search will yield more focused results.

Examples of SUBJECT headings:

Nursing	Medical Assistants	Surgical technology
Family nursing	Medical Offices - Automation	Operating room technician
Geriatric nursing	Medical Offices - Management	Surgical instruments and apparatus
Nursing assessment	Medical Assistants - legal status,	Surgical scrub
Operations, surgical	laws, etc	Medical Assistants - Professional Ethics

You may also limit your location to “Clermont”. However, be aware that this limit would eliminate important resources that can be easily borrowed from another UC Library.  You can expand your search into the OhioLINK Central Catalog and borrow items from academic libraries across the state.
