Another useful way to find books on the same Subject is “Browse
Shelf”.

This is the record of the book “Happiness : the science behind your smile “. I can click on the “Browse Shelf” link next the Call Number to see other books next to it on the shelf just as if I am standing in front of the physical shelf in the library. By clicking the left and the right arrows, I can browse further. This could be very useful as books on the same subject will be next to each other, as you can see from the titles. I may find books that I may not have found otherwise! The limit to this function is that I am only seeing items in one location, in this case, the Pasco main collection. I am not seeing books on the same subject in other locations such as reference and medical library. Therefore, it is a good feature to use to supplement to your other searches. This concludes the browse by call number demo. Thanks for watching.
