Headings List
A Headings List displays as the result of any authorities
search. A Headings List display consists of 4 columns:
Parts of this display:
- # - Authority records are available only for those headings
in the Headings List that display with an icon in the leftmost
column. The legend on the icon indicates whether the term in the
Headings List is an authorized heading, a reference term ("see,"
"see also," or "used for" term), or has a
scope note.
- Bib Records - indicates the number of bibliographic records
in the Library of Congress Online Catalog that contain the heading.
The "Bib Records" column does not link to the bibliographic
records; to view the bibliographic records in which a given heading
appears, select the link Go
to Library of Congress Online Catalog at the top of any Web
Authorities screen.
- View Authority Headings/References - lists the heading
itself
- Type of Heading - indicates the controlled vocabulary
used for subjects; the type of author/creator (personal, corporate,
meeting) for names and name/titles; or whether the heading is
for a series or non-series for titles.
Zero Hits
A "0" (zero) in the Hits column means that no catalog
records use the heading; instead users should select icon
shown in the first column to find the authorized heading.
[from old catalog]
The designation [from old catalog] appears at the end
of some headings. Taken from a previous database, these catalog
records are being edited to comply with current cataloging
standards and to reflect contemporary language and usage.
