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
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
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 icon from the top button bar, to return to the Headings List.
