Library of Congress Subject Headings

Happy Birthday, ‘Big Red Book’ (August 1998) - Library of Congress Information Bulletin
“Associate Librarian for Library Services Winston Tabb briefly traced the history of the work since 1898, when LC catalogers formally adapted the American Library Association dictionary listing of subject headings. In 1916, the Library published under its own name the first edition of Library of Congress Subject Headings, which has appeared in print since then. As technology changed, CDS also distributed tapes of LCSH to other libraries and bibliographic utilities each week and then made it available on CD-ROM. The Library now provides an online version accessible via the Internet.”

Sears List of Subject Headings, 19th Edition - Preface
“Since the first edition in 1923, the Sears List has served the unique needs of small and medium-sized libraries, suggesting headings appropriate for use in their catalogs and providing patterns and instructions for adding new headings as they are required. The successive editors of the List have faced the need to accommodate change while maintaining a sound continuity. The new and revised headings in each edition reflect developments in the material catalogued and in the use of the English language, aiming always to make library collections as easily available as possible to library users.”
