Abstract: Institutions have been moving away from the positivism evident in many disciplines in the earlier years of the 20th century. Institutional assessments have become local within a framework of best practices. The concept of the social nature of information has engendered published research in many fields. A piece of information acquires meaning only when it is socially understood. This paper looks at access points to library collections and explores the social context in which they are created. | |

Daniel CannCasciato, Mary Wise Hierarchical Gaps and Subject Authority Control Processing : an Assessment This article assesses the frequency with which hierarchical gaps occur during subject authority control processing. The gaps referred to are those that will occur if supplemental authority records are not downloaded for the broader terms of the new subject headings. The results could have an impact on workflow, staff level assignment, and automated procedures for subject authority control. If the frequency of possible gaps in the hierarchical structure is significant, then they must be accounted for. | |
