Mapping Laborline Thesaurus Terms to Library of Congress Subject Headings: Implications for Vocabulary Switching.
Chaplan, Margaret A.
Library Quarterly, v65 n1 p39-61 Jan 1995
A study for assessing automatic vocabulary switching from a thesaurus to Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) revealed that a maximum 61%, but a more realistic 41.5%, of the terms could be switched automatically; as long as LCSH is used for subject descriptions in online catalogs, interfaces for vocabulary switching can only be partially successful.
