Abstract

In 1973 a seminal research study was conducted which concluded that subject analysis for African American studies resources was seriously inadequate and that the area was neglected in research. 20 years later, revisits the relevant issues, specifically examining Library of Congress Subject Headings against the capabilities of online catalogues to retrieve materials relating to this body of literature. Concludes that improvements have been made but that problems continue to exist. Offers prescriptive measures for resolving the remaining problems
