Subject Reference Structures
The SAC Subcommittee on Subject Reference Structures in Automated Systems has a final draft of their working document "Report of the SAC Subcommittee on Subject Reference Structures in Automated Systems: Recommendations for providing access to, display of, navigation within and among, and modifications of existing practice regarding subject reference structures in automated systems"
The subcommittee concentrated on maximizing the use of existing subject reference structures in automated systems; we tried to avoid recommendations that would require major restructuring of existing subject reference structures. We envision these recommendations as appropriate for system designers and also for institutions making choices among systems, customizing systems, and requesting enhancements to existing systems. We have also included two recommendations aimed, not at system designers or implementers, but at the portion of the library community responsible for setting policies and practices regarding the creation of MARC 21 authority records.
