Abstract

Bibliographic records in an online catalogue for periodical abstracts and indexes lack adequate subject and keyword access. Accesss can be improved by adding LC subject headings, and by expanding the use of the contents note. However, no good methododlogy currently exists to provide optimum access given the constraints of the bibliographic record and of online catalogues
