Guidelines on Subject Access to Individual Works of Fiction

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.
