Abstract

As monographs represent an important category of documentary sources in academic libraries, the authors have studies possible ways to improve subject retrieval in information systems. Special attention was paid to qualitative apects of indexing while preparing subject descriptions of various types - those based on classification codes or words from free-term or controlled vocabularies. The elaborated subject description model includes elements from both approaches. The experiment has shown the viability of the model and the feasibility of its implementation at academic libraries
