Primates

When a researcher is looking for books in the library catalog, it is usually best to begin the search by using key terms also referred to as search terms or keywords. Search terms represent the main concept of the research topic. Without knowing keywords a researcher might find it difficult to find relevant books. Below is a small list of keywords you, as a researcher, may find helpful. 

The following is a partial list of subject headings related to Primates that can be used to locate books and other items in the FAU Libraries Catalog.

  • Euarchontoglires

  • Haplorhini

  • Mammalogy

  • Primates

  • Strepsirrhini

Shelf surfing is a good way to find books that are not easily found in the catalog. Knowing where to look for books on primates is key to finding the books on the shelf.
