>>Does anyone have an opinion
about the value, in the networked information world, of the hierarchical LC
subject format I described above ("Steel
Industry--Pennsylvania--Pittsburgh.")? Are others using this format (and why) or
are you using single terms, more like keywords?<<
I've
been using mostly single terms, but will occasionally use a heirarchical LC
format when there is a specific enough topic. I anticipate that searches
for more general terms will bring these topics, but there will be the option for
a more detailed search. Of course, our indexing scheme hasn't quite been
finalized yet, so there is room for adjustment.
