References and Scope Notes

About References

In the Headings List display, some headings do not link directly to catalog records, but instead supply links to related headings and/or scope notes (marked with the More Info icon) as illustrated in the screen below. This information is used to guide the user from terms that may initially be searched, but are not used as headings, to terms that are authorized in the Library of Congress Subject Headings or to authorized forms of names for persons or groups.

To view the references or scope note, select the More Info icon. Only Scope Notes, See references, See Also references, and Narrower Terms display; broader terms are not currently displayed.

From the display, view the scope note when available, or, select a Narrower Term, See or See Also reference from the Reference Information table to perform a new search on using that term. Select the Headings List icon from the top button bar, to return to the Headings List.
