Library of Congress Subject Headings:

A Primer (07/12/18)

How are subject headings assigned? What relationships exist between subject headings and the LC call number? How do you find a subject heading? How do you request a new subject heading? Can any heading be subdivided? In this session, we will explore Library of Congress Subject Headings including resources for verifying headings.  

Audience: All technical services staff, special collections staff, digital libraries/institutional repository staff, all interested in subject headings.

Resources and exercises for post-class work will be provided.
