ABN Cataloguing Manual: Part G ABN Subject heading policy
Part G.1: Establishing Library of Congress subject headings on ABN
All subject headings must be checked in the most current microfiche edition of LCSH and the list of ABN-approved subject headings in section G.10.2 The Australian National Bibliographic Database and Standards Section implements changes notified in LCSH weekly lists on the ANBD.
Free-floating subdivisions are to be checked in the most current microfiche edition of LCSH, or the LC Subject Cataloguing Manual. Most free-floating subdivisions have restrictions on their application, and must be used in accordance with certain guidelines which can be found in the scope notes given under each subdivision in LCSH, and also in the LC Subject Cataloguing Manual.
When verifying LCSH headings in the Vocabulary File, the following references should be added from LCSH:
| UF | (input as UF, reciprocal appears as SE); |
| RT | (input as RF and SA, reciprocals appear as SA and RF respectively); |
| BT | (input as RF, reciprocal appears as SA) |
| scope notes | (input as NOS) |
The references NT and USE are not be added as these are created automatically by the system when a BT, RT or UF reference is added to the reciprocal heading. See the ABN authority control manual for details on verifying subject headings.
New subject headings, or changes to LCSH headings may be proposed to the Subject Headings Review Panel. See Section G.10.1 for details.
Part G.2: Tagging of subject headings
Subject headings on ABN may be tagged as corporate, family (or personal), conference or meeting name, topical, geographic, or uniform title:
| SUC | (110, 610) | Corporate name subject heading |
| SUG | (151, 651) | Geographic subject heading |
| SUM | (111, 611) | Conference or meeting name subject heading |
| SUP | (100, 600) | Family or personal name subject heading |
| SUT | (150, 650) | Topical subject heading |
| SUU | (130, 630) | Uniform title subject heading |
Subject headings that designate groups of countries or regions of the world are tagged SUG. This applies to headings that represent geographically contiguous groups of countries, such as Scandinavia, Benelux countries, Slavic countries, or groups of countries that share a common political, ethnic or other trait, regardless of whether they are geographically contiguous, such as Developing countries, European Economic Community countries, Arab countries, Communist countries, or regions that are geographically contiguous or share a common trait, such as Alpine regions, Polar regions and Tropics.
The list that follows is a guide to the tags to use with specific types of heading.

Notes
1. Although headings in this category are generally established under title and tagged SUU, those that are established under personal or corporate authors are tagged SUP or SUC.
2. Events that are formally convened, directed toward a common goal, capable of being reconvened, and have a formal name, eg Winfield Cup.
3. Events that generally cannot be repeated and have no formal name but are commonly referred to by generic term combined with an appropriate adjective or proper name eg Cyclone Tracey, 1971.
4. These categories of ambiguous headings are treated as jurisdictional names in field 651 but as corporate names in fields 110, 410, 710, and 810.
Part G.3: Headings not requiring SHRP approval
G.3.1 Commercial products
The following guidelines have been prepared for the establishment and verification of headings for all types of commercial products required as subject headings, in particular for motor vehicles, but also for aircraft, tanks, cameras, etc.
Subject headings formulated according to these guidelines do not need to be submitted to the Subject Headings Review Panel for approval.
These guidelines apply to all product headings to be verified on ABN, even if there is already an LCSH heading in a different form. When a heading is to be verified in a form different from that used in LCSH, apply the verification (NOV) code 'k'.
a. Establish a heading in the following style
make
model generic term
For example:
Ford Laser automobile
Canon AT1 camera
Do not include names which refer to body style, e.g. estate, hatchback, station wagon, zagota, hardtop.
Do not include designations indicating level of equipment, e.g. de luxe, standard, special.
The model name may simply be a set of alpha and/or numerical characters, e.g. HQ; 200B; V8.
If the generic term is contained in the model name, the generic term is dropped, e.g. Ford Econovan.
If the make occurs as the second element of the model name, the heading should be established as modelgeneric term only.
b. See references
Add see references from all
alternative names, and different spellings of the model name. When the model
name is distinctive, reference may also be made from the modelgeneric term to
the established form, e.g.
Ford Laser automobile
UF Laser automobile
c. See also references
Always make a see also
reference from the generic term, e.g.
RF Automobiles
Always make a see also reference from the make without the model name,
e.g.
RF Ford automobile
Make see also references between headings for the same model produced by different firms.
G.3.2 Headings qualified by linguistic, national or regional terms for which a pattern is clearly established in LCSH.
The following types of headings can be established directly on ABN without reference to the Subject Headings Review Panel:
Headings qualified by linguistic, national, or regional terms for which a pattern is clearly established in LCSH.
For these types of headings, follow the instructions in Section H320 of the Library of Congress subject cataloging manual for the reference structure, for example:
Women poets, Australian
UF Australian women poets
Travelers' writings, Australian
UF Australian travelers' writings
UF Australian fiction
Astrology, Khmer
UF Khmer astrology
UF Astrology, Cambodian
[ABN/SC/1996/RES/16]
G4: Subdivision practice for Australia
G.4.1 Indirect local subdivision
When subdividing topics by Australian geographic places, subdivide directly through the relevant state or territory. Do not follow the Library of Congress practice of subdividing topics through Australia.
ABN practice is to include Australia in the countries which are subdivided by first order political division.
The following is a list of the countries that are subdivided by first order political division.
| Country | Divisions |
|---|---|
| Australia | States or territories |
| Canada | Provinces |
| Great Britain | Constituent countries |
| United States | States |
Include Australia with the other three countries listed wherever these exceptions are applied in the LC Subject Cataloguing Manual.
G.4.2 Period subdivisions for Australia, Australian states, territories and capital cities.
G.4.2.1 Free floating subdivisions used under place--special application
When subdivisions from the subset of free floating subdivisions:
--Church history
--Civilization
--Economic conditions
--Economic
policy
--Foreign relations
--History
--History, Military
--Politics and government
--Social conditions
--Social life and
customs
are used under Australia and Australian states, territories and Australian capital cities the followng period subdivisions can be applied. These period subdivisions differ from LC as they have been constructed to suit Australian circumstances and history.

Part G.10: ABN Subject Heading Proposals and ABN-Approved Subject Headings
1. ABN Subject Heading Proposals
Introduction
The principal subject authority file on the ABN
database is based on Library of Congress Subject Headings, but is not
identical to LCSH. It contains additional headings approved of by the
ABN Standards Committee's Subject Headings Review Panel, and will contain
headings using Australian rather than LCSH terminology.
The Subject Headings Review Panel encourages both ABN participants and other Australian libraries to submit proposals for subject headings for concepts which are not adequately covered by LCSH, for changes from LCSH to Australian terminology and for additional references to existing headings, according to the guidelines and procedures outlined in this section. When a proposal is unanimously approved of by the Subject Headings Review Panel (and the approval is endorsed by the ABN Standards Committee), it is added to the ABN database as a valid authority file heading.
The Subject Headings Review Panel has worked through A list of Australian subject headings, 1st ed. (FLASH), selecting headings for addition to the ABN authority file. This review was completed before the decision to allow changes from LCSH to Australian terminology, therefore FLASH can continue to be used as a guide for such changes.
Such approved headings not only are added to the ABN authority file, but are also used in National Library of Australia bibliographic services, such as ANB, AUSMARC exchange tapes and AMRS records.
When headings are approved, details are transmitted to the Library of Congress, with a request to incorporate the heading in LCSH. When the subject heading proposal does not conform to the guidelines, a proposal may nevertheless be accepted for the purpose of transmitting to the Library of Congress a request to change the heading in LCSH.
The Macquarie Dictionary has been accepted as the standard authority for the spelling of proposed subject headings and references.
1. Guidelines for preparing subject heading proposals
a. Scope of acceptable headings
Headings for Australian subjects not covered in LCSH (such as historical events, flora and fauna).
Headings for new subjects or subjects which have no LC heading at the time of cataloguing whether or not the subject is exclusively Australian.
Changes from LCSH to Australian terminology (e.g. 'Railways' for 'Railroads')
Note: This includes proposals for separate heading status for a term currently used in LCSH as a see reference to a broader heading.
Note: Geographic feature and region headings; and headings for buildings and industries based on products need not be submitted to the Subject Headings Review Panel provided they are established according to the principles and guidelines contained in the LC Subject Cataloguing Manual 4th edition (1991). Likewise, headings for automobiles and other commercial products need not be submitted to SHRP provided they are established according to the guidelines outlined in Section G3 of this manual
b. Headings that fall outside the acceptable scope
Changes from American to 'AngloAustralian' spelling.
Changes of incorrect or anachronistic LCSH terms (e.g. 'Phonorecords')
Variations to LCSH not covered by the above guidelines.
A heading that falls outside the acceptable scope for proposals may be considered as a reference to a valid Library of Congress heading.
c. Reference and geographic subdivision proposals
Additional references which do not create conflicts may be proposed, e.g. Caravan parks see Trailer camps. Such references may reflect, for example, colloquial usage, or differing national usage.
Proposals to allow for geographic subdivision of existing headings are also acceptable.
Note: Certain 'Used for' references, as outlined below, may be added to existing headings without reference to the Subject Headings Review Panel:
(i) Manipulation of headings
It is customary to provide UFs from manipulated forms of the wording of the heading, as long as the resulting combination of words represents an expression under which a catalogue user might logically be expected to search. Normally all phrase headings are referenced from their inverted form (or vice versa), or from a phrase equivalent of the inverted form.
Door knobs UF Knobs, Door Bait fishing UF Fishing with natural bait Breakwaters, Mobile UF Mobile breakwaters The same treatment is given to alternative terms and phrases. UF Christian denominations Denominations, Christian RF Sects
Exception: Do not make an inverted UF in instances where both
of the following conditions occur:
(a) A RF is made that begins with the
same word or words as the UF and
(b) there are no
established inverted headings that begin with the same word or words e.g.
Rotary tillers [The UF Plows, Rotary is not made UF Rotary plows because the RF Plows begins with UF Tillers, Rotary the same word and there are no RF Plows inverted headings that begin with the word Plows]
(ii) Headings qualified by nationality, ethnic group or language
Make a UF from the alternative form for headings established with a qualifier designating nationality, ethnic group or language, e.g.
Art, French Mexican American arts UF French art UF Arts, Mexican American
2. Preparation, presentation and submission of proposals
In preparing proposals, it should be clearly kept in mind that to be acceptable the heading must fit into the framework of the ABN authority file which is predominantly LCSH; in which respect particular importance is placed on conformity in system of language, construction and style.
Therefore two points must be emphasised. Firstly, those wishing to prepare subject heading proposals must make themselves thoroughly familiar with all aspects of LC Subject Cataloguing Manual 4th edition (1991) for the guidance that it provides, for example, on principles, style, patterns and models, references and subdivisions.
Secondly, when contemplating preparing a specific proposal, time should be spent with LCSH, searching for alternative terms, tracing references through, finding headings for analagous terms, observing usage of particular wording, etc.
In presenting a proposal, the research should be summarised and presented clearly and unambiguously, so that the Subject Headings Review Panel can deal efficiently with proposals.
An attached photocopy of, for example, a page from the introduction of the work for which the heading is required, is acceptable; however the results of term and title searches on ABN should be summarised.
Proposal forms are available from the ANBD & Standards Section. A sample appears at the end of this section. Proposals submitted on this form should be sent to:
Manager
ANBD - Standards Section
National Library of Australia
Canberra ACT 2600
3. Contents of proposal form
Proposed heading: denoting (May Subd Geog) if it should be subdivided geographically.
Proposed reference structure: indicate all required references and scope notes, as appropriate:

Relationship to LCSH:
An indication should be given that, for example, the concept represented by the proposal is not currently covered in LCSH, but it parallels other concepts in LCSH; or that it is a proposal to change from LCSH to Australian terminology; or that it is a former nonprint heading.
LCSH pattern:
A relevant and truly analagous existing LC heading must be cited as the
pattern for any new subject
heading in the following categories:
i) proposal to add a qualifier to a heading already analagously qualified. ii) proposal to establish a non free-floating subdivision under a heading for which an analagous pattern of usage exists, e.g., the heading 'Churches--Remodeling for other use' may be cited as the pattern for a proposal to establish the heading 'Automobiles-- Service stations--Remodeling for other use.' iii) proposal to establish a heading always constructed according to an established pattern. In all cases, every attempt should be made to cite a pattern on which the proposal is based.
Authorities consulted:
Thorough authority research demonstrating that the term selected for the proposed heading is the appropriate one must be done for all concepts that are new to the subject headings system. Proposed subject headings and their associated see references should reflect both the terminology used in current literature on the topic, and the system of language, construction and style used in LCSH. The final selection of terminology may therefore be the result of a combination of both pattern and research, in which case both should be cited.
The purpose of doing authority research and listing the authorities consulted is either to demonstrate the form(s) in which the term being proposed as a heading has been found in existing literature or to document the fact that no citation to the term can be found in any likely sources except the work being catalogued. This information serves not only as a record of how a decision was reached on the terminology selected for the heading and see references, but also as justification for the proposed structure of see also from and see also to references.
There is no general rule as to the number of citations to a work that must be found to demonstrate literary warrant for the form of the heading. Depending on the nature of the heading being established, there may be abundant authority or virtually none at all. Failure to find any previous citation to the term being proposed, after a reasonable amount of research, is not normally a factor in determining the acceptability of a proposal. The proposal must however demonstrate that those sources in which one would logically expect to find the term being proposed, have been consulted. All authorities used or consulted must be cited whether or not the term was found.
The types of authorities to be consulted for any given proposal vary according to the nature of the term being proposed as a new heading. The most frequently consulted types of authorities include:
i) general dictionaries ii) general encyclopaedias iii) general indexes and thesauri iv) titles on the ABN database v) work being catalogued and its bibliography vi) topical reference sources and other authoritative works in the field, if the topic is limited to a particular discipline.
Indicate how the topic is entered or indexed in the authority cited if the heading is being proposed in a form different from the entry of index term used in the authority.
If possible, quote definitions from dictionaries, etc; do not attempt to summarise.
Work in hand: Title / statement of responsibility and record identifier.
Comments: This includes such items as the definition of terms that are not found in readily available reference works; quotations illustrating the usage of the term in running text; information on the intended scope and usage of the proposed heading; explanation of its relationship to, and distinction from, similar existing headings.
Note should also be made here of any attachments.

2. Aborigines, Australian and its subdivisions
The following form of the heading, approved by the ABN Standards Committee as an ABN authority file heading, has been adopted for works on Australia's indigenous people.
Aborigines, Australian (May Subd Geog)
The heading with its subdivisions will be verified with code 'k'.
The following guidelines should be used for making additions to this heading:
a. Phrase headings
Follow the patterns for Indians (Indians of North America) or Australian Aborigines in LCSH. Do not use the 'as' form except where the form would otherwise be clumsy or ambiguous (e.g. Aborigines, Australian, as consumers).
b. Stylistic problems
Where stylistic problems occur because of the inverted form, prefer the form emphasising the word Aboriginal (except c below), e.g.
Aboriginal Australian literature (May Subd Geog)
Aboriginal Australian poetry (May Subd Geog)
c. Scope notes
Provide scope notes in cases where the heading subdivision and another form of the heading are both valid, e.g. Art, Australian--Aboriginal artists
Here are entered works on art by Aboriginal Australian artists who have turned to non-traditional forms and materials under the influence of Western art. Works on Aboriginal Australian art in traditional forms and utilizing traditional materials are entered under Aborigines, Australian--Art.
Aboriginal Australian literature
Here are entered collections of works by Australian authors in Aboriginal languages. Collections of works in a specific Aboriginal language are entered under the corresponding heading for the literature. Collections of works by Aboriginal Australian authors in non-Aboriginal languages are entered under the specific non-Aboriginal literature with the subdivision Aboriginal authors, e.g. Australian literature--Aboriginal authors.
Aboriginal Australian poetry
Here are entered collections of poetry written by Aboriginal Australians in Aboriginal languages. Collections of poetry about Aboriginal Australians are entered under Aborigines, Australian--Poetry. Collections of poetry by Aboriginal Australian authors in non-Aboriginal languages are entered under the specific non-Aboriginal poetry with the subdivision Aboriginal authors, e.g. Australian poetry--Aboriginal authors.
Aborigines, Australian, in art
Here are entered works about or collections of illustrations of Aboriginal Australians in art. Collections of portraits are entered under Aborigines, Australian--Portraits.
d. Aborigines, Tasmanian
The heading Aborigines, Australian serves as a pattern heading for
Aborigines, Tasmanian
e. Subdivisions
The following subdivisions are valid for use under Aborigines, Australian (May Subd Geog).
The list is based on the subdivisions used under the LCSH heading, Indians of North America and also the list of free-floating subdivisions used under Ethnic groups, the latter in response to the Library of Congress' categorisation of Australian Aborigines under Ethnic groups. The list also incorporates the subdivisions approved by the Standards Committee resolution ABN/SC/1983/RES/6 and outlined in the paper ABN/SC/1983/16. Form (but not topical) subdivisions from the list of most commonly used form and topical subdivisions (Section F.7.2) may be used in addition to the subdivisions listed under Aborigines, Australian. The cross-references listed under Indians of North America and under Ethnic groups should be used as pattern references when verifying those subdivisions which are the same for the Aboriginal Australian headings on ABN. When an appropriate subdivision does not exist, new ones should be proposed. (refer Section G.1)
Subdivisions denoted as (May Subd Geog), and therefore able to be
subdivided geographically, in the latest list of Most commonly used form and
topical free-floating subdivisions, but not denoted (May Subd Geog) under the
subdivisions controlled by the pattern heading Indians of North America, are
permitted to be subdivided geographically under Aborigines, Australian.
