Try the following Library of Congress subject headings to find books in Anthropology:

The library catalog lets you search for books, journals, DVDs, music, and research materials that are available in the Duke University Libraries.

When you know exactly what you want:

• Search the library catalog by title or author of the work (Ex. Mccann, Colum).
• Use the catalog's advanced search for the most precise searching.

When you are starting a search on a new topic:

• Use the default keyword search to see what books we have on a particular topic (Ex. civil war).
• Click on relevant suggested subjects for more focused search results (Ex. united states - history - civil war, 1861-1865).

If a book is checked out, click on the little truck to request the book. Enter your netid and password. Then click, 'Request'. (View short tutorial)
