The first comprehensive theoretical treatise on Library of Congress subject headings, this important book provides an analysis of the Library of Congress subject heading system and its application. Library of Congress Subject Headings aims to help improve the clarity of the system, increase consistency and arrangement, increase the number of effective access points, facilitate the interaction of the system with the computer, and generally to make the Library of Congress subject heading system and its application of even greater value to the cataloger and the user. Practicing catalogers, library school personnel, advanced students, and any professional who is very knowledgeable about and seriously interested in Library of Congress subject headings will want to read this highly acclaimed volume. Author William Studwell includes theoretical, conceptual, and philosophical considerations based on 25 years of everyday practical cataloging and indexing work and the knowledge gained from theoretical research for the more than two dozen articles on subject cataloging that he has written in the last decade. He presents thought-provoking, often controversial material in three parts. The first section, “The System,” deals with the basic philosophical foundations of LC subject headings. Thirty-two “principles”--guidelines and suggestions are offered along with detailed explanations, examples, and their relationships to other principles. The second section, “Application,” focuses on the matters of subject cataloging practice, or interpretation and application of LC subject headings. The third section, “The Future,” looks ahead to future issues relating to subject cataloging, such as the development of a theoretical subject heading code, the interface of LC subject headings with the computer, and some speculation as to the role and nature of LC subject headings in the years to come.

A unique, two-in-one resource for librarians and scholars, Guides provides easy access to complex multidisciplinary information on peace and international conflict.The first part of this extremely useful work presents Library of Congress (LC) headings for relevant subject areas in the humanities, social sciences, law, and military science. To make the researcher s task as easy as possible, these headings are organized into three sections: topics, place names, and wars and other armed conflicts.The second part brings together the classification schedules needed to catalog and locate all kinds of materials related to peace studies. Both parts offer the same thorough coverage within carefully selected subject areas and will save students, librarians, and scholars many hours of painstaking work.Created to aid both researchers and collection developers in the rapidly growing field of peace and security studies, the book uses familiar LC terminology and structure. It was prepared by the Jeannette Rankin Library Program of the United States Institute of Peace with the cooperation of the Library of Congress Office of Subject Heading Policy.This volume is based on the twelfth edition of the Library of Congress Subject Headings, plus the additions through October 1989, and on the LC classification schedules through 1988."
