Editorial Reviews

This new edition (first, Headings for Children's Materials, Libraries Unlimited, 1993) provides librarians with a subject authority and companion to the LC list of headings, which should ease the process of automating the library catalog or changing from Sears to L.C.S.H.. The most-used LC names and subject headings are compiled with hundreds of names from the LC authority file, incorporating all current modifications of LCSH (18th edition) for the classification of children's and young adult material.
