The Subject Access Problem - Opportunities for Solution: A Workshop Held at Springfield, Virginia on 18-20 October, 1978

摘要

The need to improve the ability of the user to find needed information through subject access was the basis for the workshop. The Committee organized the workshop to: (1) highlight the role of subject access with the emphasis on the needs of the information seeker, (2) compare techniques for subject access now being used in the library and abstracting and indexing (A&I) communities including applicable research efforts, (3) emphasize the role and nature of authority files in subject access control and facilitation, (4) seek opportunities to (a) improve information preparation for subject access through better functional interconnection and integration across all communities and (b) promote the use and enhance techniques for subject to classes of publications not now adequately covered.
