    Abstract
    This selective bibliography, prepared for the Jun 1993 ALCTS CCS preconference on research in cataloging and classification, is intended for the librarian with little or no experience conducting research. Its aim is to acquaint the librarian with 'a few good books' (and one article) on research methods and statistics; to offer selections 'from the literature' that suggest potentially fruitful areas for research in cataloging and classification; and to assist the librarian in successfully communicating his or her findings to the library community

    Abstract
    A thourough understanding of current subject cataloging practice, especially Library of Congress practice, will assist librarians in making the best use of new and emerging technology to ease the task of constructing subject headings. To gain insight into the most current subject cataloging practices at the Library of Congress, a random sample of one thousand bibliographic records with one or more 6XX fields and Library of Congress card numbers assigned from 1988 to the present was drawn from the BOOKSM database. Library of Congress catalogers rely heavily on the system of free-floating subdivisions in the process of constructing subject headings. Attempts to improve the subject cataloging process must take into account this fundamental characteristic of the Library of Congress subject headings system
