The Library of Congress, the U.S. national library, contains more than 17 million books, including foreign publications, plus something like 100 million other items, such as maps, manuscripts, multimedia, and much, much more. Head straight to the catalog . If you're looking for books by a specific author, if you know the title of the book and need to confirm the author, or if you want to see all the books about a subject, use the Subj-Name-Title-Call# search option. If you have a more complicated search in mind, such as a search for an exact phrase or for books on a particular topic written by a certain author, choose the Guided Keyword search. Command Keyword is for searchers who know how to use the LC's index codes; this option is not for the faint of heart. And finally, the Keyword search lets you type in several words, any of which can appear in the catalog records.
