1. What was discussed today in class?
We learned what call numbers are and how to organize them and then we used our knowledge to find books in the library using call numbers.
2. Describe the differences between words and subject headings
Well subject headings are searches were you will but a subject and get information and books that are related to the book, while words are just words in your search and are not a subject.
3. What are advantages and disadvantages of each of these search strategies?
The advantages of subject headings is you get a a lot of information about the topic but the search parameters are so large that finding relevant information might be difficult. While words gives you a very specific search for what you need but, may not have what you need.
Sorry for being so late, I have no excuse, just lately things have been becoming more and more hectic and it feels like everything is moving so quickly and I am just missing so many deadlines and I cant keep up.

In item 3, subject headings usually give you a small set of results which are more focused on your topic. Words or keywords usually give you a larger set of results, but can be a mix of results that are both on and off topic.
