Access to Nonbook Materials: The Limits of Subject Indexing for Visual and Aural Languages.
Svenonius, Elaine
Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v45 n8 p600-06 Sep 1994
Examines some nonbook materials with respect to an aboutness model of indexing, showing that there are instances that defy subject indexing. These occur not so much because of the nature of the medium but because it is being used for nondocumentary purposes or because the subject referenced is nonlexical. (Contains 20 references.) (KRN)
