Searching for the Postmodern

Postmodernism can be applied to just about any field of inquiry you can imagine:  the arts, literature, business & economics, geography, psychology, the sciences, religion, history, education, sports, medicine, law … so when searching for resources use “postmodern” or “postmodernism” as keywords.  For example, if you go to our library’s web site and click on “Huntingdon’s Local WorldCat,” which is a more expanded version of Countess, and enter “Postmodern” as you keyword in the search box, you will notice on the left side of the screen you will receive a long list of suggestions (under “Topic”) for narrowing your search further.  Below is a screen shot as an example of what you will find.  You can discover similar results searching for Postmodern and Postmodernism in our databases.
