Hello all. Wells Branch would like to get access to the Library of Congress's Subject Headings online, which is called Classification Web. It's $575 per year for 1-4 concurrent users, up to 20 hours a month. If we had several libraries interested, we could divvy that cost up by the number of libraries. Or: does anyone know of where to get these subject headings for free? Specifically, a site where you can search free-floating subject heading subdivisions directly? For more info: http://www.loc.gov/cds/classweb/ Advantages of Classification Web: * Full-text schedule display of all Library of Congress classification schedules--including G class geographic cutters. * Complete Library of Congress subject headings in familiar thesaurus-style display. * Access to data anywhere you have a World Wide Web connection. * Correlations between LC classification numbers and LC subject headings. * All files updated daily, providing optimal data accuracy. * Hypertext links within and between classes and subclasses speed access to critical data. * Powerful search & navigation tools. * Automatic calculation of classification table numbers. * Permanent institutional or personal notes file. * Ability to link to local Web OPAC for many major vendor systems. * Preset list of institutional OPACs to which users can link. * Display of non-Roman characters.
