References & Scope Notes
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. (Although the Online Catalog contains authorized
headings from other controlled vocabularies, it does not include references
from them.) To interpret the legends dislayed in the Heading Type
column of the display, see the help screen
for Headings List Types.
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.
