Topical Subheadings

• When a topical subheading is used with the primary subject, check both index and the main schedule to determine whether a specific number has been assigned to cover that aspect of the topic

• Whenever a main heading/topical subheading concept is indexed to a specific number in the class schedule that matches the primary main heading/subheading chosen, use that class number

• Example:
  • In the index under Kidney the cataloger is led to WJ 300-378. Specific numbers for $x anatomy and $x physiology are not provided in the index

     

    

     

• However, an examination of the schedule leads the cataloger to WJ 301 for Kidney $x anatomy or Kidney $x physiology
