To find materials located at any of Emory's libraries in EUCLID, one option is to enter Library of Congress subject headings in the search field and click "Browse" then the "Subject" tab. Studies have shown that searching library catalogs with LC subject headings is more effective than using other keywords.

For general help with EUCLID, read the EUCLID on the Web User's Guide. Unlike dedicated online databases, the contents of books and articles are not searchable in EUCLID. Read Finding a Journal Article in the Woodruff Library. Most materials in EUCLID which say "held by GENERAL" are located in the Woodruff Library. See the Woodruff Library Location Guide.

When searching EUCLID by subject, we recommend that you use the Browse search mode. Browsing with keywords will retrieve a list of subject headings established by the Library of Congress -- something like the lists below for keywords Religion and South Asia. Note that the search results will not capture every item in the collection for which the subject heading is relevant, because in practice catalogers cannot add every relevant subject heading to every item. To find related works in EUCLID not cataloged with the same subject headings as those on your results list, try the following:

  • Click on related subject headings
  • Click on the author for other publications that might be in the same subject area
  • Click on the series title if present
  • Click on the "browse shelves" tab and enter a call number from the results (call numbers group items by subject).
  • Click on "see related headings for: RELIGION" to see links to narrower terms like "Animism" and links to parallel terms like "God," "Religions," and "Theology."
  • For nations or regions within South Asia --e.g., India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Bengal--substitute their names for "South Asia" in the list below.
