Excerpt from Subject Headings With Local Subdivision: A Headings With Indirect Subdivision; B Headings With Direct Subdivision; C List of Local Divisions States, Provinces, Etc. To Which Subdivision Is Always Direct
The principle upon which subjects have been classified in the one or the other of the two following lists is admittedly not susceptible of rigid application - opinion may differ, and it may be conceded that in the case of a considerable number of the subjects it has not been applied with nu erring judgment and with the greatest possible consistency. The lists are printed in response to numerous requests for information as to the actual practice of the Library of Congress, and are not offered as a guide to be unquestioningly followed.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an informative guide to classification practices at the Library of Congress. The guide is divided into two main sections: List A and List B. List A comprises subjects where local differentiation or character pertains to the whole country or a state and is common to all or most geographical subdivisions within it; these subjects are divided by country or state with further subdivision by province, county, city, or other locality. List B comprises subjects or distinctive aspects of subjects peculiar to, or identified in interest with, smaller regions or localities; these subjects are subdivided directly by province, city, or other locality. The guide also includes exceptions to these general rules, such as certain classes of institutions whose development is largely or exclusively identified with cities.
