Formation of specific subject headings which express relationships or influences in the Zagreb City Libraries subject cataloguing system

Abstract

Namjera je ovoga rada prikazati specifičnost u oblikovanju predmetnih odrednica kojima se iskazuje odnos ili utjecaj u nadziranom rječniku predmetnog sustava Knjižnica grada Zagreba. Odrednice o kojima će biti riječ složene su predmetne odrednice koje iskazuju npr., odnos dvaju pojmova, dviju disciplina, utjecaj jednog autora na drugog, odnose dviju zemalja itd. Taj odnos ili utjecaj u predmetnom sustavu Knjižnica grada Zagreba prikazuje se povezivanjem dviju predmetnica ortografskim znakom dvotočke (:). U radu će biti prikazan povijesni pregled izvora takve prakse, odnosno kratka analiza pravila koja se odnose na te vrste odrednica, te usporedba sa sustavom predmetne obrade Kongresne knjižnice u Washingtonu (LCSH), ilustrirana primjerima. Također će biti analizirani prednosti i nedostaci takvih specifičnih odrednica.The aim of this paper is to show the specificity in the formation of subject headings that express the relationship or influence in the subject headings controlled vocabulary lists of the Zagreb City Libraries. Subject headings that will be discussed express the relationship between two concepts, two disciplines, the mutual influence between two authors, relations between the two countries, etc. This relationship or influence in the subject cataloging system of the Zagreb City Libraries is displayed with subject linking of two subject headings with orthographic sign of colon (:). In this paper a historical overview of sources of such practice will be presented and a short analysis of the rules that apply to these types of headings will be given. The Zagreb City Libraries system of subject cataloging will be also compared with the Library of Congress Subject Headings system (LCSH), illustrated with examples. Finally the advantages and disadvantages of such specific subject headings will be analyzed
