- Abstract
- The provision of a comprehensive network of see and see also subject cross references has troubled cataloguers. Describes a survey in May 91 to explore Australian academic library practices with regard to the provision of cross references and perceptions of the importance of these in the light of OPAC searching capabilities. The study examines the provision of syndetic structure (hierarchical and related references) using LCSH. The study was limited to the appliation of LCSH in higher education, TAFE and state libraries with OPACs. Considers whether aspects pf LoC subject cataloguing policies and individual library practices are changing with the shift from the manual to the online environment. Offers labour-saving options tp provide user access to the syndetic structure of LCSH
