Abstract:
This chapter briefly refers to another important part of cataloguing, which is the subject description. Subject description or analysis is the part of cataloguing that deals with identifying and describing the conceptual or artistic content of an information resource. Here the text tries to introduce us to the world of subject description and the tools used to record subjects in bibliographic records. Great emphasis is placed on subject headings, especially on Library of Congress subject headings, since they have become through the years a de facto subject description tool in libraries around the world.
