Subject Guide for Biotechnology
To find books, theses and serial publications, use the web version of the PAC
library catalog and conduct a search for author, title or subject. For the correct subject heading consult the Library of Congress Subject Headings. Some important subject headings are AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY, BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEERING, BIOTECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS CONTROL, BIOTECHNOLOGY, FOOD BIOTECHNOLOGY, GENETIC ENGINEERING, INDUSTRIAL MICROBIOLOGY, MICROBIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY, PHARMACEUTICAL BIOTECHNOLOGY, REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY, BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRIES, BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING, etc.
If a copy of the Library of Congress Subject Headings is unavailable then try the following technique. First search your term(s) using the WORD command on the PAC. When you retrieve a title that looks reasonable, display the full record and look at its subject headings. You can then search for additional books with those subjects heading by using the S command (SHOW similar items).
Theses from SDSU may be found by looking under the subject heading SDSU THESIS-BIOLOGY, SDSU THESIS-CHEMISTRY, etc.
