Abstrakt: Traditional subject cataloging is based on the content of individual items without reference to user context. Hierarchical, browsable Web-based lists, using institutionally meaningful subject taxonomy, would provide desirable access for many users. Lists could be produced without double-maintenance of data if the local subject terms can be mapped from LC classification numbers already in catalog records. Creating such a mapping system poses many challenges, but also holds great promise. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
