Creating Better Subject Access with Multiple Vocabularies: Upgrading the Subject Heading List for the Alzheimer's Association.

Smith, Marilyn J.; Cochrane, Pauline Atherton

Library Resources & Technical Services, v43 n1 p53-58 Jan 1999

A new subject list was generated for the Alzheimer's Association's Green-Field Library catalog, resulting in a mix of Medical Subject Headings and Library of Congress Subject Headings, augmented by local- and reviewer-supplied terms. The list gives the Library authoritative terms to use for original and copy cataloging. It can also be placed with the Library's catalog on the Web. (Author/AEF)
