Subject Guides
Subject Guides are developed
by librarians at the Alice Statler Library to aid students in finding information
on various culinary and hospitality related subjects. Most guides point out
the correct Library of Congress Subject Headings to use when searching the online
catalog. Also included are lists of reference and circulating books in the library,
as well as links to internet resources of interest. If videos are available
on the subject, the guide will list the titles and call numbers.
This section is a work in progress and new guides are always being added. If
