Though the payoffs are significant for reference librarians, readers' advisors, and library users, adding subject access for works of imagination -- fiction, poetry, and drama, for example -- can mean a lot of work for the cataloging department. Authoritative and comprehensive, this new and updated edition will help catalogers and others in the library to: -- Apply the suggested headings to individual works of fiction.-- Enrich catalog entries quickly and consistently by following guidelines.-- Satisfy library patrons and readers by pointing them to targeted works, characters, settings, and topics.
