    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
    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
    Concerns expressed in a 1994 essay on catalogues and the Superhighway have still not been addressed and 3 new questions now arise: (1) Is there a real need for bibliographic control of the Internet? (2) Since we do not truly own Internet information, cannot label or shelve it, can it truly be catalogued? (3) How would efforts to control its retrieval by cataloguing be affected by its lack of constancy?

    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
    Four policy proposals are made for Library of Congress subject headings affecting geographic areas: consistency of form of place names in subjects; consistency and completeness of period subdivisions under place names; automatic Ge of place names as initial elements in map subject cataloging; and abandonment of the (May Subd Geog) concept in favor or clearer and more accurate notations.

    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
    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
    Considers the effectiveness of standard methods of subject access to online catalogues in US libraries, with emphasis on the LCSH and the ease with which end users can manage without the assistance of library intermediaries. Concludes that the most satisfactory option would be a revised form of the LCSH
