When searching for resources on community development you can choose to search either by SUBJECT or by WORDS. When starting out with a new topic it is probably best to begin with a WORDS search as this is the more comprehensive option. WORDS will search for the term(s) you have entered in a number of fields, including title and subject heading. SUBJECT headings are fixed and you need to know the correct one(s) for your topic. If you do try a SUBJECT search and it doesn't find anything, repeat it as a word search. Then look at the records you find and you will be able to see the subject headings assigned to them. You can use these for further searching if necessary.
