Guidelines on Subject Access to Individual Works of Fiction, Drama, Etc. American Library Association 2.º edición

Though payoffs are significant for reference librarians, readers' advisors and library users, adding subject access for works of imagination - fiction, poetry and drama, for example - can mean a lot of work for the cataloguing department. Authoritative and comprehensive, this second edition is designr#ed to help cataloguers and others in the library to: apply the suggested headings to individual works of fiction; enrich catalogue entries quickly and consistently by following guidelines; and satisfy library patrons and readers by pointing them to targetted works, characters, settings and topics.
