Human Resources Management & Development at Webster University Library

About the library catalog

The library catalog of the Webster-Eden Library System contains records for all books, periodicals, videos, media materials, and other items contained in the Webster University Library and Eden Theological Seminary - Luhr Reading & Reference Library. Here are some tips for searching our library catalog, saving your searches, and renewing library materials. 

The catalog lists periodicals/journals held by the two libraries, via a print or electronic subscription. However, the catalog does not tell you which individual articles are in periodicals and journals. For that, you need an article database.  If you want to know if the full text is available in a database or here in the library, search the Journal & Magazines List for the title of the periodical. 

The Webster-Eden Library System catalog is part of a larger catalog called MOBIUS which lists items owned by academic libraries in the state of Missouri and beyond. More about MOBIUS and how to request books be sent to you.

Book subject headings

The Library of Congress (LC) standardized the subject headings so that books on the same subject are arranged on the shelf by LC call number. You may use these subject headings when searching the library catalog or a library article database, though the database tags may be different. (See the Find Articles page of this guide),

The LC subject headings below are some of the common tags used in the field of human resources to find books on a topic. During a catalog search, you may combine subject headings and other keywords, to create a more focused search. For example, e.g. personnel management and diversity.

Note that personnel management is used as the preferred subject heading rather than human resources management. You may however find human resources used in titles and other parts of the catalog record.

Other common subject headings

Career development
Compensation management
Diversity in the workplace
Employee motivation
Employee retention
Employee selection
Employees -- Recruiting
Employees--Training of
Human capital
Job satisfaction
Labor laws and legislation
Manpower planning
Organizational change
