<p class=MsoNormal>I'm sure, Kate, that catalogers in <i>your</i> shop are
quite aware of the SCM rules. I included the excerpt for general education
purposes. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I strolled through some parts of the SCM, looking for a
definition of what constituted "topical subject headings", but
couldn't find anything. In trying to formulate how I understand the
relationship between proper names and proper names divided by a topical
subdivision, I came up with the following. I'd like to know whether it
generally holds and could be used as a rule of thumb, or whether it breaks down
at some point.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>If using as a subject a name
heading exactly as it appears in the name authority file, it is a name used as
a subject heading, but is not a topical heading. If using a name with
subdivisions, either exactly (as in Jesus or Shakespeare) or because it follows
a pattern heading, <b><span style='color:#403152'>as it appears in the
subject authority file</span></b>, it is considered a topical subject heading.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So, Shakespeare has dozens of headings established in the
name authority file. They are all either names for himself or names for his
works. There are hundreds of records for Shakespeare established in the subject
authority file, consisting of his name followed by one or more topical or form
subdivisions, therefore rendering them topical subject headings—not in
terms of tagging, but in following provisions in the SCM. Likewise,
Shakespeare's Hamlet is established as such in the NAF, but the name heading
for Hamlet subdivided by one or more topical or form subdivisions creates hundreds
of subject headings in the SAF. <o:p></o:p></p>
