Abstract

Since many nations rely upon subject headings and classification numbers from cataloguing agencies in developed countries, changes requiring computers would hinder subject access in Thrid World areas which lack high technology. New computer-supported systems such as PRECIS will probably take hold only in languages and countries where a subject analysis system does not already exist. For the traditional card catalogue-based subject access system, computer support may lead to more frequent changes in headings, less pre-coordinated structure, and the assignement of more terms per document. Third world countires may have difficulty in adapting to the developments. Classification, especially since it more easily crosses linguistc boundaries, may become to a greater degree the preferred means of subject access in Third World nations. During the transition, IFLA can serve as a forum for developing nations to make their needs known to the providers of bibliographic data

Abstract

United States libraries use classification to provide subject browsing in open stacks. The DDC used by 85% of American libraries, is a theoretical, universal attempt to organize all knowledge. The LCC lacks intellectual consistency since it was based upon library warrant to organize materials in one collection. Many academic libraries use LCC because the Library of Congress' shared bibliographic records with the LCC call numbers reflect the collecting interests of academic libraries. LCC is more hospitable to change than DDC whoese phoenix schedules have encountered resistance throughout the world. Classification currently receives less attention than subject headings since United States librarians place great hope in the computer to resolve subject heading problems while remaining conservative about classification

Abstract

Library of Congress subject heading policy has been frequently criticized for using obsolete and biased terminology, for not providing subject analysis in depth, and for being overly research library oriented. While both PRECIS and the Subject Analysis Project offer possible solutions, fiscal considerations make their adoptions unlikely. By using existing computer technology, individual libraries could improve subject access by improved subject searching capabilities and by implementations of subject authority files which could tailor LC subject headings to the individual libraries' needs and provide an individualized cross-reference structure. For its part, the Library of Congress should provide an uptatable machine readable file of its complete cross-reference structure. This file should contain all references used in the Library of Congress Public Catalog since much of LC's subject heading practice is based upon its cross-reference structure. With such improvements, LC subject headings could provide much better subject access at an acceptable cost
