Identical in Appearance But Not in Actuality: Headings Shared by a Subject-Access and a Form/Genre Access Authority List.

Miller, David

Library Resources & Technical Services, v41 n3 p190-204 Jul 1997

Authority records were compared for established headings that are identical in "Library of Congress Subject Headings" (LCSH, 18th edition) and "Moving-Image Materials: Genre Terms" (MIM). Both quantitatively and qualitatively, pairs of identical headings differ sufficiently from each other that the creation of authority records for each usage represents no duplication in any meaningful sense.
