HOLLIS has two main parts. There’s the traditional Library Catalog of Harvard's books, journals, films, sound recordings, maps, and so on. Then there’s a huge additional database of articles, reviews, etc. which come from various sources outside Harvard. Many of these are available online through Harvard's subscriptions.
You can search the Library Catalog separately, or -- especially if you want to see articles -- search for "Catalog and Articles" at once. These choices appear as soon as you start to type a search.
The Library of Congress's subject heading system uses several terms for the art of the con:
swindlers and swindling • impostors and imposture • fraud • deception • hoaxes • quacks and quackery
In HOLLIS, you can use any of these headings in a Starts With / Browse search to look for books on the topic. See the example below.
Search limits such as these appear on the right-hand side of the HOLLIS screen when you do a search. Most databases provide similar ways to refine a search.
