Abstract: Examines recent discussion of the need for the development of a theory based code for LCSH. Research has shown that academic libraries are not keeping up with changes to subject heading systems in recent years. One of reasons for this is that the LoC seems to be operating without any kind of plan or guiding principles

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

Libraries using the LCSH can increase the effectiveness of their subject access. This can be accomplished through one of four methods for applying an increased number of headings: the addition of subject headings in situations where none have been supplied by LC; the use of pattern secondary headings; the use of major + minor techniques; and the use of minor + major techniques. Each of these methods will provide additional subject access to supplement that produced by the Library of Congress

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: The three phases of the development of LC subject headings are surveyed. The inconsistent and not highly effective practices of the past, or Cutterism, should be put aside in favor of standardization or codism. But codism is not an end in itself. It is just a prelude to the ultimate goal - consumerism, or keeping the needs of the library user at the forefront

Abstract: Recounts the efforts throughout the 1980s to promote the idea of a subject heading code and revisions to LC subject haedings. Describes the current situation of stasis. The Library of Congress has announced no comprehensive plan for LC Subject Headings, and it is unclear whether the concept of standardisation will be embraced

Abstract: Reviews the movement for change in the patterns and usage of LCSH and suggests improvements to the headings in the social sciences. Covers: confusion between disciplines and topics; confusion over the first element in a heading; insufficient number of headings; the problem of conditional subjects; controversial terminology; and insufficient See References

Abstract: Considers the future of LCSH and whether their viability can be maintained through a written standardization code. Until there is an online substitute for LC subject headings which has been tested on a large scale over a period of time, a successor to the present combination of LC's controlled vocabulary headings plus computerized techniques such as keyword searching is unlikely to emerge

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
