Subject Headings AM250
Spring 2009 Cultural Groups
The indented terms found beneath the cultural group are subject headings that work in library catalog SAGE. The reference books have a juvenile audience, but are still quite useful for getting started.
Generic keyword search: [group] and (adornment or clothing or textiles)
Note: some of the subject headings may only have one relevant title in SAGE or only one title will be relevant (this would be in a list of 10 or fewer titles). Also, some of the groups do not have anything specific about them or their adornment practices, so the adornment topic will need to be danced around "social life and customs," "civilization," and "history." After doing your search in SAGE, also look in Prospector for additional titles that use the same subject heading.
