5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tool for Elementary Librarians, January 19, 2008

This review is from: Sears List of Subject Headings (Hardcover)

I've been updating our MARC records with subject headings that our K-2 school children can use. The previous edition in the library was so old that the subject terminology was very out-dated. Once I got this book, I was relieved to see how up-to-date the terms were and how the majority were going to be easy for the youngest of library users to figure out. The material provided before the subject list even starts is very useful as well. Dewey numbers are provided from the DDC 14th Abridged edition -- the most up-to-date edition of that book. Highly recommend purchasing this updated version.
