APPENDIX E.

A list of the principal subject-headings for a dictionary catalogue of an average general library, with references and cross-references, excepting to geographical headings. Biographical subject-headings are not included. The reference “See” implies that the heading from which it refers must not be used as it is synonymous. A more exhaustive list with a fuller series of references from greater to lesser and related divisions of subjects (i.e., “see alsos,”) will be found in the List of subject headings for use in dictionary catalogues, prepared by a Committee of the American Library Association.
