This book is the only comprehensive treatise on the Library of
Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) system. It offers users a complete
and definitive guide to a challenging area of study. Chan presents
a brief history of the system, analyzes its principles, and
describes its vocabulary and subject authority control. She then
discusses the application of LC subject headings to LC MARC records
and outlines the Library of Congress's policies on the assignment
of subject headings in general and the treatment of certain types
of materials in particular. This new edition updates the text
according to policies governing current practices in using LCSH,
and the highlighted relevance of LCSH in the global electronic
environment. Part 3, completely rewritten, includes a chapter on
FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology), which is an
LCSH-based controlled vocabulary for electronic resources.
