Subject Authorities
The latest issue of Library Philosophy and Practice Vol. 5, No. 2 (Spring 2003) has the paper Hierarchical Gaps and Subject Authority Control Processing : an Assessment by Daniel CannCasciato and Mary Wise.
This article assesses the frequency with which hierarchical gaps occur during subject authority control processing. The gaps referred to are those that will occur if supplemental authority records are not downloaded for the broader terms of the new subject headings. The results could have an impact on workflow, staff level assignment, and automated procedures for subject authority control. If the frequency of possible gaps in the hierarchical structure is significant, then they must be accounted for.Available in both HTML and PDF.
