SUBJECT ANALYSIS,

RECORDS AND SUBJECT
CATALOGING TOOLS
Goals
Provide attendees with an understanding of
principles and practices of LCSH
Teach specific skills in subject analysis of
religion that can apply for any type of material
Provide guidance in using subject cataloging
tools effectively
Discuss specific areas that ATLA catalogers
encounter regularly
Principles and Concepts
of Subject Analysis
How do you determine what an item is
about?
Subject analysis is conceptual analysis of
an item. Covers both what the item is
about and the form or genre of the item
Subject headings are terms used to
represent a name, event or concept
Sources for Subject Content
Title
Table of contents
Introductory matter
Summary, abstract, publisher's blurb
Index
Illustrations
Types of Subject Content
Topics
Personal names
Corporate names
Geographic names
Time periods
Titles of works
Form or genre
Cataloger's Judgment
and Consistency
Recognizing topics and placing them
within a discipline
Informed by cataloger's knowledge of the
subject
Concepts have to be translated into LCSH
Unique and Specific Entry
Each subject heading usually represents a
single concept
Scope notes indicate when a heading
represents more than one concept
Each subject heading is a precise term
used to represent a specific concept
Pre- and Post-Coordination
LCSH is a pre-coordinate system
Elements are combined into one heading
Complex and multi-element topics require
post-coordination in searches
Main Headings
Main headings may be:
topics
(150)
genre/form (150 or 155)
names (100, 110, 111, 151)
titles (130 or name plus ‡t)
Subdivisions 1
Subdivisions narrow the scope of the main
heading
Subdivisions after main headings may be:
topical
(‡x)
geographic (‡z)
chronological (‡y)
form (‡v)
Subdivisions 2
Subdivision authority records
180
topical
181 geographic
