Using Subject Headings to Find Books

Subject headings allow you to search library catalogs for materials on a particular topic. Often subject heading searching can be more productive than searching by simple keywords. Listed here are some subject headings relevant to NCPR. To search subject headings, use the advanced search function of the CSUDH Library Catalog. Choose Subject rather than the Any Field next to the search box. 

Some subject headings relate to the resolution of conflict: 


Conflict management 
Crisis management 
Disarmament 
Dispute resolution 
Family mediation 
Interpersonal conflict 
Intervention (international law) 
Mediation
Negotiation 
Nonviolence 
Pacific settlement of international disputes 
Pacificism 
Peace 
Reconciliation 
Restorative justice
Social justice 
Violence prevention

Or you may want to approach the topic from the angle of the conflict that needs to be resolved: 

Boundary disputes 
Conflict of generations 
Culture conflict 
Ethnic conflict 
Interpersonal disputes 
Marital conflict 
Social Conflict 
War

Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

If a book or article isn’t available through one of the library’s subscriptions, you can request it through Interlibrary Loan. Interlibrary Loan is a resource sharing service with libraries across the country that provides research materials at no cost to you. If you're requesting an article or book chapter, you'll receive a copy as a PDF. 

First, check to see if it's available in OneSearch or another library database. Look for the Find It @ CSUDH Lib button. 

Find it @ CSUDH Lib button.

You can also borrow books from other CSU campuses and have them delivered to the CSUDH Library. Look for the Request through CSU+ option in OneSearch
