- Abstract
- Argues the need to provide additional access points in the cataloguing of popular culture materials in libraries which treat such collections as special collections. Provides a list of 8 general principles to apply in enhancing access to such materials through the catalogue (by increasing the number of appropriate headings), and illustrates how these principles might be implemented in two areas: motion pictures, radio and television and popular music

- Abstract
- Although the rules for descriptive cataloging have been recodified twice in the past twenty years, there never has been any kind of comprehensive theoretical code for subject headings, despite some suggestions for a code over the years. This essay explains the need for a code, provides historical background, and presents some broad proposals as to the philosophy, structure, and form of the code and what the code should cover. Included is the relation between the proposed code and the Library of Congress' 1984 Subject Cataloging Manual.

- Abstract
- LC's decision to include the publication and physical description data of microform reproductions and photocopies as a note is contrary to AACR2, is logically inconsistent, and is probably confusing to patrons. Instead, it would be simpler and clearer for all reproductions to be treated like other library materials.

- Abstract
- Claims that there is no clear plan, comprehensive philosophy, or macro approach to the revision of Library of Congress Subject Headings. Having missed a great opportunity in the mid-1980s to develop a subject analog of AACR2, LC is now in a period of decline. Discusses alternatives to LC subject access such as PRECIS and keyword searching. Urges LC to halt and reverse the decline by bold, decisive action in the 1990s

- Abstract
- A movement for a subject heading code to standardize LCSH and their usage gained considerable attention in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Examines the reasons for the lack of progress in this project, which include: the lack of any plan from the LoC which could serve as a philosophical foundation for either a subject access system or the changes made to it; the belief that online catalogues make a controlled subject vocabulary obsolete; and professional ignorance, apathy, and negativism. Warns that, in an increasingly complex age, lack of standardization of any technical system or process tends to lead to the demise of that system or process

- Abstract
- Southeast Asia is an important and populous region with an extensive literature. Many libraries in the United States and Canada have large or moderate collections of Southeast Asia materials. Yet the Library of Congress has not provided sufficient subject heading period subdivisions for the area. Additional subdivisons are proposed in detail for: Asia, Southeastern; Indonesia; Malaysia; Singapore; Philippines; Thailand; Indochina; Vietnam; Cambodia; Laos; and Burma. The historical and/or logical justification for the proposed additions follow each area. The function of the essay is not to present absolute answer, but to promote awareness of the problem and to suggest reasonable alternatives.

- Abstract
- History period subdivisions established by the Library of Congress (LC) for the individual states of the United States are surprisingly inadequate. Only seven states have subdivisions which cover all periods. Fifteen states need updating to cover the twentieth century. Twenty-eight states are deficient in other ways, including thirteen which have no period subdivisions at all or subdivisions only for wars and other special events. Proposals are made to remedy the deficiencies.
