Search the Catalog for books/e-books on culinary arts
After you had done the above search for books under the keyword pastry arts you may want to limit the results to just books (print books) located at one of the BCC libraries, as this results list is for all the libraries in teh SAILS network. If you want to limit to just books at the BCC Fall River Library, for example, click on more, then BristolCC-Fall River as noted below. The resulting list of books will not only be those at that location. E-books can be accessed at any campus. They can also be accessed remotely by inputting the barcode number on the back of your BCC Campus Card ID when prompted.
When a book gets cataloged (added to a library collection), either one or more subject headings are assigned to it. The BCC Libraries, as well as other college and university libraries, use the Library of Congress subject headings. Below are a few subject headings that you might want to try (click on the subject heading) to access even more resources:
