Educational sociology


I choose educational sociology because it was the most relevant subject to my topic. The subject heading was educational sociology and it gave me 249 entries. After examining, I had more results with the subject heading than the keyword search. I had only one result for the keyword search compared to the subject heading. I personally think that the keyword search was more relevant than some of the subject heading results. One of the results was the same single result I received on the keyword search. The first few results for the subject heading were relevant to my topic but I think the keyword search result was more on target. I think the reasons being that the results for the subject heading were not very clear. They did not really give much information on what the particular result was about and the keyword search result gave exact material presented in the book.


B. The difference between a keyword search and a subject heading search is that when one does the keyword search it broadens the topic within the keywords used whereas the subject heading narrows the given results to even narrower results to have more in depth results withing the keyword used for the starting search.
