etc. in our Library. Try the most specific heading first, then broaden
if necessary:
Helpful subheadings to know:

Use Set more limits to search for only the children's collection,
media collection,
limit dates, etc.
The Teaching Materials Guide

CHILDREN'S BOOKS
Fiction, including children's fiction, does not usually carry subject headings.
To find a children's story book then, you could either:
- Limit PILOT to only search the children's collection
and then enter keywords you hope will appear in the title or note field, or
- Use a reference book, such as one of the following, to identify titles
of books about a certain subject and then put those titles into PILOT to see
if MU has the book.
- A to Zoo: Subject Access to Children's Picture Books (Ready Ref Z 1037 .L715 2006)
