Keywords and subject headings
A keyword search in the Catalogue will find everything in the library on a topic. A subject heading search will get a shorter but more focussed list. If a search for Pacific gets too many irrelevant results (such as Asia-Pacific), use a more specific term such as Pacific Islands, Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia or the name of a country.
