WCU FAQs: Research Help

Subject headings (or subject terms) are types of keywords used when searching for professional level sources. For example, a subject heading for "high blood pressure" would be "hypertension," since that is the medical term for the condition.  For more information on searching by subject headings, please visit the library's Research Basics guide.

For a demonstration of how to search EBSCOhost databases using subject terms, check out this tutorial.
