Two experienced library educators and librarians take a practical approach in teaching subject access, focusing on Library of Congress Subject Headings and the Library of Congress Subject Cataloging Manual.

The authors also include free-floating subdivisions, pattern headings and MARC codes for ease of use.

The book is suited to the needs of students of librarianship, both at the professional/master¿s level and at the paraprofessional/technician level, and to library staff seeking to upgrade their knowledge and skills¿.a useful self-teaching or classroom text. It should be considered for supplementary use even by teachers who may not assign it as a regular text, as its thorough explanations and exercises will be useful in any related teaching situation.
