In some databases, articles are tagged with subject headings that can be used to search for all articles on a particular subject. You can either note subject headings on articles you find, or you can locate subject headings by searching an index that the database provides. In ATLA, go to the "Indexes" tab at the top of any page.
From the drop down menu, choose "Subjects All" and type the keyword that you are looking for in the box below. Then click "Browse" (NOT "Search").
The database will list potentially relevant topics. If you don't find what you're looking for, try another keyword. Click the checkbox next to the topic you want to search for, then add the term to your search with the "Add" button.
