Searching by subject (cont'd)

Beside each subject heading will be the number of corresponding entries in the database. You can choose a more specific heading if you like.

Note that if you choose a subject heading which has children, all of the children may or may not be included along with it. Inclusion of the children is called exploding the term. Normally it happens by default. If you go into the tree display then it doesn't happen by default, but you can check on the Explode box if desired.
