Providing a subject heading for every idea, object, process or relationship that catalogers might encounter is an impossible task. EBSCO offers a practical solution. Since 1923, this resource has served the unique cataloging needs of small and medium-sized libraries by providing a flexible, extendable vocabulary in natural language.
A Practical Solution
Sears List of Subject Headings offers a core list of headings as well as patterns and instructions for creating new subject headings as they are needed. The aim has always been to make library collections as accessible as possible, and Sears' simple, readable subject headings help patrons of all ages find library materials. New terms are added to this vocabulary on a yearly basis and search results are ranked according to relevance, whether the user is viewing a brief or full display.
