  • Faceted Application of Subject Terminology): a Simplified Lcsh-Based Vocabulary
    World Library and Information Congress: 69th IFLA General Conference and Council 1-9 August 2003, Berlin Code Number: 010-E Meeting: 126. Classification and Indexing Simultaneous Interpretation: - FAST (FACETED APPLICATION OF SUBJECT TERMINOLOGY): A SIMPLIFIED LCSH-BASED VOCABULARY Edward T. O'Neill OCLC, Dublin USA and Lois Mai Chan University of Kentucky, Lexington USA ABSTRACT: The Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) schema is by far the most commonly used and widely accepted subject vocabulary for general application. It is the de facto universal controlled vocabulary and has been a model for developing new subject heading systems around the world. However, LCSH’s complex syntax and rules for constructing headings restrict its application by requiring highly skilled personnel and limit the effectiveness of automated authority control. Recent trends, driven to a large extent by the rapid growth of the Web, are forcing changes in bibliographic control systems to make them easier to use, understand, and apply, and subject headings are no exception. The purpose of adapting the LCSH in a faceted schema with a simplified syntax is to retain the very rich vocabulary of LCSH while making it easier to understand, control, apply, and use. The FAST schema 1 maintains upward compatibility with LCSH, and any valid set of LC subject headings can be converted to FAST headings. FAST consists of eight distinct facets. Authority records have been created for all established headings except for the chronological facet. The initial version of the FAST authority file will contain approximately two million authority records. INTRODUCTION With the phenomenal growth of electronic resources and the emergence of numerous metadata schemes for their description, there is a need, particularly, for subject access methods that can handle a large volume of materials without incurring the same amount of effort and cost as in the treatment of traditional library materials.

  • The History and Status of Chinese Americans in Librarianship
    The History and Status of Chinese Americans in Librarianship MENGXIONGLIU ABSTRACT THISARTICLE REVIEWS THE BRIEF HISTORY OF Chinese Americans in the United States and their contributions to librarianship. Despite the hard- ships and challenges they faced, Chinese American librarians made great contributions to the building of East Asian libraries, to the cataloging of East Asian and Chinese collections, and to the development of library automation. They have advanced information technologies, promoted multicultural and diversity library services, and participated in library man- agement and administration. Chinese Americans are active in library and information science education, in professional associations, in interna- tional librarianship, in national library and information services policy making and programming, and national policy making. Pioneers and key figures are identified with their accomplishments. The origin, purpose, programs, and activities of the Chinese American Librarians Association are also described. INTRODUCTION The Chinese have been in the United States since the 1820s.Their history in this country is the longest among all Asian groups. With a popu- lation of 1,648,696,according to the 1990 US. census, it is also one of the largest ethnic groups in the country (Lai, 1995). During the last two cen- turies, Chinese Americans have played an important role in the nation’s economy.

  • Library of Congress Subject Headings: Pre- Vs. Post-Coordination And
    Library of Congress Subject Headings Pre- vs. Post-Coordination and Related Issues Report for Beacher Wiggins, Director, Acquisitions & Bibliographic Access Directorate, Library Services, Library of Congress Prepared by the Cataloging Policy and Support Office March 15, 2007 (Approved by ABA Management June 13, 2007, with annotations on Recommendations [p. 9-13] added October 2, 2007, revised December 20, 2007) The Director for Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access at the Library of Congress requested a review of the pros and cons of pre- versus post-coordination of Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). There have been several studies of the pros and cons over the years, most notably by Elaine Svenonius and more recently by Lois Mai Chan and Arlene Taylor/Daniel Joudrey – included as appendices to this report. Briefly stated, pre-coordinated strings provide context, which is needed for “disambiguation, suggestibility, and precision”1 and browsability. Pre-coordinated strings have a sophisticated syntax that can express concepts better than single words, yet also can be faceted by systems to group topics into categories for post-coordinated displays when desirable. Post-coordinated terms have serious limitations for recall, precision, understanding, and relevance ranking. Rather than review the issue of pre- versus post-coordination, the issue perhaps should be how subject access can best be achieved for users at a cost that reduces the current expense. We know subject access is important to users and a value added service that libraries provide. Additionally, Karen Markey has recently pointed out that subject headings should figure prominently in the post-Boolean probabilistic catalog, as they contribute to relevance feedback and ranking algorithms.2 There are certainly ways to reduce the costs for subject cataloging while retaining the benefits of the pre-coordinated strings of Library of Congress Subject Headings, and the Cataloging Policy and Support Office offers recommendations towards that end.
