Introduction This manual contains specific University of Waterloo Cataloguing Dept. policies regarding the application of Library of Congress and Canadian subject headings. These policies apply to the cataloguing of monographs only. Subject headings are not assigned to government publications or UW theses. Throughout the manual, the following abbreviations are used: LCSH - Library of Congress subject headings, latest ed. CSH3 - Canadian subject headings, 3rd ed. AACR2 rev. - Anglo-American cataloguing rules, 2nd ed., 1988 revision. This manual must be used in conjunction with LC's Subject cataloging manual: subject headings. References are made in this manual, as needed, to the corresponding numbered section in LC's manual in the form: H----. II. general policies The Cataloguing Department uses as its source of subject headings, Library of Congress subject headings, latest microfiche or CDROM ed. (LCSH), and its weekly lists of additions and changes. For materials with Canadian content, Canadian subject headings, 3rd ed. (CSH3) and its supplements are used. In addition, personal and corporate names and other proper nouns not authorized in LCSH or CSH3 may be established according to AACR2 rev. when required. Names as subjects are verified according to the heading verification procedures and are established according to AACR2. Unless otherwise stated in the following policies, Library of Congress policies are applied, as described in: Subject cataloging manual: subject headings and recent issues of Cataloging Service bulletin. Free-floating subdivisions: an alphabetical index is used as a subdivision index to the manual. A recommended source for more general information on the use of subject headings is: Library of Congress subject headings: principles and applications / Lois Mai Chan. punctuation, spacing Apply LC's punctuation/spacing conventions, as described in Subject cataloging manual: subject headings, Appendix D, except ignore the instructions regarding cataloguer's hand notation and punctuation/spacing that is controlled by MARC coding and our system (e.g. spacing between a corporate heading and subheading, word breaks at the end of a line). order of subject headings The first subject heading assigned is usually the one that represents or most closely represents the classification number assigned to a work. inverted headings The University of Waterloo does not follow LC and NL's practice of inverting some headings (e.g. geographic names, battles, treaties, etc.). Headings are established in direct order. e.g. Lake Ontario not Ontario, Lake Battle of Agincourt, 1415 not Agincourt, Battle of, 1415 qualifiers The University of Waterloo usually follows LC and NL's practices regarding qualifiers added to place names. An exception is made when LC or NL inverts a topical heading to enter it under place name and adds a geographic qualifier to it. In the UW catalogue, the heading is entered in direct order and no qualifier is necessary. e.g. LC: Peipus, Lake, (Estonia and R.S.F.S.R.), Battle of, 1242. UW: Battle of Lake Peipus, 1242. revisions When a topical or geographic subject heading is revised by LC or NL, the revised heading will be used. III. format of sources library of congress subject headings 1. Entries are authorized for use as subject headings, unless they are followed by "USE ---". These are not to be used as subject headings. They are explanatory notes or references to headings which may be used. 2. "(May Subd Geog)" following a heading or a subdivision indicates that it may be subdivided by place. If "May Subd Geog" does not follow a subdivision but does follow a heading, the geographic qualifier must be interposed between the heading and the subdivision. 3. A scope note appears in a separate paragraph after some headings to ensure consistency of subject usage by specifying the range of subject matter to which a heading is applied. 4. A see reference, indicated by the term "USE" or "UF" under the heading referred to, is used to lead from a term which is not used as a heading to another term which is authorized as a heading. 5. A see also reference is used to link two terms that are both authorized as headings. "NT", "RT", or "SA" indicates a reference to a related or subordinate heading. "BT" or "RT" indicates a related or broader heading from which a see also reference is made. 6. Most headings may be further subdivided by narrower topic, place, date or time period, or format of material. Some of these subdivisions are listed under individual topical headings. Others are authorized in general listings of subdivisions found in Subject cataloging manual: subject headings. 7. "*" (Asterisk) in the LCSH weekly lists indicates a change in a heading or subdivision. A heading not preceded by an asterisk is a new heading. 8. "CANCEL", when it appears in the LCSH weekly lists, refers only to the single line immediately following or to a note or reference. This line, note, or reference is to be cancelled. 9. Some pre AACR2 headings can still be found in LCSH. Before using headings for geographic features, buildings, places, phrase headings, proper names, etc., be sure to evaluate them according to AACR2 rev. 10. For additional information, see the introduction to the printed edition of LCSH. canadian subject headings 1. Entries in boldface type are authorized for use as subject headings. 2. Entries in lightface type are not to be used as subject headings. They are explanatory notes or references to headings which may be used. 3. A scope note appears in a separate paragraph after some headings to ensure consistency of subject usage by specifying the range of subject matter to which a heading is applied. 4. A see reference, indicated by the symbol "x" under the heading referred to, is used to lead from a term which is not used as a heading to another term which is authorized as a heading. 5. A see also reference is used to link two terms that are both authorized as headings. "sa" indicates a reference to a related or subordinate heading. "xx" indicates a related or broader heading from which a see also reference is made. 6. Geographic subdivision is authorized in a note printed below the heading. See, for example, "Almanacs, Canadian". 7. Free-floating subdivisions are printed under the heading, "Canada - History". Also printed is a scope note specifying the usage of the subdivision or a "Note under ..." statement referring the cataloguer to the appropriate scope note. See, for example, "Canada - History - Periodicals - Indexes" and the scope note under "Canada - History - Indexes". 8. Subdivision of headings falling into specified categories is controlled by the use of pattern headings. These categories and the pattern headings to be followed are listed in CSH3, p. xi- xii. 9. [CSH] indicates a heading which is different from the LCSH heading for the same concept or a heading which is unique to CSH. For instructions regarding headings different from LCSH, see the manual section "Specific policies - Canadian subject headings". 10. [LCSH] indicates a heading derived from LCSH. 11. [AA] indicates a name heading capable of authorship and constructed according to AACR2. 12. For additional information, see the introduction to CSH3. IV. canadian subject headings 1. For materials published with Canadian content, use headings listed in Canadian subject headings, 3rd ed. (CSH3) and its supplements. 1.1 For geographic names, establish the heading in direct order. e.g. Lake Erie not Erie, Lake 1.2 For a single geographic feature located in both Canada and the U.S., use the CSH3 heading in all cases. e.g. for a work discussing the Red River in the U.S., use Red River (Minn. and N.D.-Man.). not Red River of the North [LCSH] 1.3 For other geographic names established differently by LC and NL, use the CSH form of heading unless instructed otherwise in the specific instructions following. e.g. Selkirk Mountains not Selkirk Range [LCSH] 1.4 For names of battles, establish the heading in direct order, omitting the place qualifier in parentheses. (If in CSH3, code as 650b5; otherwise as 650b4). e.g. Battle of Batoche, 1885 not Batoche (Sask.), Battle of, 1885 Battle of Chippawa, 1814 not Chippawa (Niagara Falls, Ont.), Battle of, 1814 1.5 For treaties, note that most headings are established according to AACR2 rev. under the appropriate government/uniform title entry, with a see reference from the common name of the treaty. e.g. Great Britain. Treaties, etc. United States, 1814 Dec.24 x Treaty of Ghent, 1814 1.6 For "Quebec", follow LC. Use diacritical marks in all cases. e.g. Qu‚bec (Province) Qu‚bec (Qu‚bec) 1.7 For date subdivisions of Canadian headings, use only the subdivisions authorized in CSH3 and its supplements. 1.8 Consider the subdivision "- Canada" as authorizing subdivision by any other Canadian geographical term that conforms to the general rules for geographic subdivision. 1.9 For headings for literary forms (e.g. Adventure stories), groups of authors (e.g. Novelists), or types of publications (e.g. Canadian newspapers), use the CSH form in all cases to indicate language group. e.g. Children's literature, Canadian (French) not Children's literature, French-Canadian [LCSH] Canadian poetry (English) not Canadian poetry [LCSH] (if English only) Canadian periodicals (French) not French-Canadian periodicals [LCSH] 1.10 Do not apply headings that are specific to the Canadian situation to other countries, etc., even if Canadian content is implied. e.g. Cabinet ministers - Canada but Cabinet officers - Commonwealth of Nations 1.11 Verify LCSH headings listed in CSH3 (i.e. those not followed by [CSH]) in the latest microfiche or CDROM edition of LCSH. Apply all LCSH changes affecting these headings. 1.12 Use headings marked [CSH]. Correct the following LCSH headings found on cataloguing copy to the CSH3 form. Note that some of the following are pattern headings (e.g. "English language ..." applies to all language headings). Note also that headings for geographic features, literary forms, groups of authors, and publications already covered by general instructions are not included in the following lists. 1.12.1 The following list is in CSH heading order. For the same list in alphabetical order by LCSH heading not to be used, see 1.12.2.

LC's guidelines will be followed but, in addition, headings will be assigned for Canadian artists represented or discussed in an item. See the specific policy on Canadian Authors and Artists. Usually, no more than 10 headings are added. art catalogues (H1360, h1593) 1. If the item is the catalogue of an art exhibition, assign as subject headings: þ a heading identifying the objects in the exhibition, subdivided by "Exhibitions", þ if appropriate, a heading for the type of items, subdivided by century and/or country and then by "Exhibitions". 1.1 If the exhibition is named, also assign a subject heading for the exhibition in the form [name of exhibition (number : date : place)]. 1.2 If an exhibition of the works of an individual artist, assign as headings: þ the name of the artist, subdivided by "Exhibitions", þ other topical headings to indicate form, theme, etc., subdivided by "Exhibitions". 2. If the item is a collection of art reproductions of an individual artist with commentary, assign as subject heading the name of the artist. 2.1 Only if there is substantial biographical information about the artist's personal life, also assign a biographical heading for the class of persons to which the artist belongs. 2.2 If appropriate, assign also other topical headings to indicate form, theme, etc. 3. If the item is the catalogue of an art collection: 3.1 If an unnamed collection permanently housed in an individual museum or gallery, assign as subject headings: þ the name of the museum or gallery, subdivided by "Catalogs", þ a heading identifying the objects in the collection, subdivided by "Catalogs", þ a heading indicating the location of the collection, usually the general topical heading for type of items, subdivided by the city and then by "Catalogs", þ if required, a heading for the type of items, subdivided by century and then by "Catalogs". e.g. title: Twentieth century American paintings in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston headings: þ Museum of Fine Arts (Boston, Mass.) - Catalogs. þ Painting, American - Catalogs. þ Painting - Massachusetts - Boston - Catalogs. þ Painting, Modern - 20th century - United States - Catalogs. 3.2 If a catalogue of a private art collection, assign as headings: þ the name of the collection, þ a heading identifying the objects, subdivided by "Catalogs", þ the name of the owner of the collection, subdivided by "Art collections". e.g. title: Bayou Bend : American furniture, paintings and silver from the Bayou Bend Collection headings: þ Bayou Bend Collection. þ Art, American - Catalogs. þ Hogg, Ima - Art collections. battles (h1285) LC and NL establish names of battles in inverted form, using the AACR2 form of the name as the entry element. e.g. Dunkerque (France), Battle of, 1940 Batoche (Sask.), Battle of, 1885 The University of Waterloo establishes names of battles in direct order, without geographic qualifier. e.g. Battle of Dunkerque, 1940 Battle of Batoche, 1885 Otherwise, LC and NL's policies are followed. biological names When establishing headings for names of plants and animals, generally accept the form of name as it appears on the publication being catalogued, provided the publication is recent (i.e. five years old or less), and the name conforms to the rules for headings as outlined in Subject cataloging manual: subject headings. If questions arise as to how a heading should be established, the following publications may be useful: (1) Webster's third new international dictionary of the English language, unabridged (Springfield, Mass. : Merriam-Webster) (2) Biological abstracts - Biosystematic & Generic indexes (Philadelphia, Pa. : BIOSIS) (3) Synopsis and classification of living organisms (New York : McGraw-Hill) (4) Index nominum genericorum (plantarum) (Utrecht : Bohn, Scheltema & Holkema) (5) Bergey's manual of systematic bacteriology (Baltimore : Williams & Wilkins) (6) Bibliography of fossil vertebrates (New York : Geological Society of America) (7) Catalogue of type invertebrate fossils of the Geological Survey of Canada (Ottawa : Dept. of Mines and Technical Surveys Canada) If a name cannot be verified and there is reason to believe it is not valid, reject the name as a heading and use/establish a heading at a higher taxonomic level. Canadian authors and artists The University of Waterloo will give more detailed subject cataloguing to works in Canadian literary history and criticism with the aim of providing more subject access to Canadian authors. Some guidelines for identifying such works are listed below. 1. Works in Canadian literary criticism with chapter headings clearly indicating treatment of one author. 2. Books dealing with literature in general, as opposed to those having Canadian content exclusively, and containing material on individual Canadian authors. 3. Festschriften with any essays on individual Canadian authors. 4. Works on particular themes, e.g. Darwinism in Canadian literature, and illustrated by profiles or criticisms of individual authors. 5. Books containing a comparison between one author and other authors, some or all of whom are Canadian. 6. Conferences, most likely of a general nature, but including papers on Canadian authors. Encyclopedias and other such comprehensive, reference type material should be excluded from detailed treatment. The guidelines as they apply to the treatment of Canadian literary authors should be applied to Canadian artists as well. See also the specific policies on Art and Exhibitions. Usually, no more than 10 headings are added. chemical names When establishing headings for names of chemicals, generally verify all names using the publications listed below. Establish families of compounds in the plural form (e.g. esters not ester) (1) Hawley's condensed chemical dictionary (New York : Van Nostrand Reinhold) (2) Dictionary of organic compounds (New York : Chapman and Hall) (3) Enzyme nomenclature (Orlando : Academic Press) (4) Enzyme handbook (Berlin : Springer-Verlag) computer names When establishing headings for names of computers, computer systems, etc., generally accept the form of name as it appears in the publication being catalogued. Headings may be established for the following, using the appropriate qualifier. Heading for: Qualifier: Computers Computer Computer networks Computer system Computer network Computer network architectures architecture Computer systems Computer system Formal languages Formal language Hardware description Computer hardware languages description language Information storage and Information retrieval retrieval systems system Local area networks Local area network system Microprocessors Microprocessor Operating systems Computer operating system Programming languages Computer program language If questions arise as to how a heading should be established, the following publications may be useful. (1) Computing information directory (Federal Ways, Wash. : Pedaro) (2) ACM guide to computing literature - Index of proper names (New York : Association for Computing Machinery) (3) Datapro 70 : the EDP buyers bible (Delran, N.J. : Datapro) (4) Various software catalogs COMPUTER SCIENCE MATERIALS All computer science material, published between 1980 and 1990, for which copy exists, should be directed by the assistant cataloguers to their supervisors to have subject headings evaluated. Material published prior to 1980 or after 1990 should also have subject headings checked if it is determined from a cursory examination of the title, table of contents or abstract that the subject headings supplied are either too general or that additional subject headings are required. Cases in which subject headings would be considered too general include the use of headings such as Logic, Electronic data processing, Programming languages, etc., when the publication deals with a more specific subject. Also included would be the failure to use the name of a computer program, computer system, programming language, etc., as a subject heading when such a heading is appropriate for the publication in hand. diseases When establishing headings for names of diseases, generally accept the form of name as it appears in the publication being catalogued. If questions arise as to how a heading should be established, the following publications may be useful: (1) Medical subject headings (Bethesda, Md. : National Library of Medicine) (2) Black's medical dictionary (London : A & C Black) (3) International dictionary of medicine and biology (New York : Wiley) drug names When establishing headings for names of drugs, generally accept the form of name as it appears in the publication being catalogued. Choose generic over brand names. If questions arise as to how a heading should be established, the following publications may be useful: (1) American drug index (Philadelphia : Lippincott) (2) Compendium of pharmaceuticals and specialties (Toronto : Canadian Pharmaceutical Association) (3) United States Pharmacopedia (Rockville, Md. : United States Pharmacopeial Convention) dynasties, royal houses, etc. (H1574) LC establishes names of royal houses, etc., in inverted form. e.g. Anjou, House of. The University of Waterloo establishes names of royal houses, etc., in direct order. e.g. House of Anjou. Otherwise, LC's policies are followed. exhibitions (H1593) The University of Waterloo will give more detailed subject analysis to the works of Canadian artists.
