Abstract:
Jan Buse
This paper follows an analytical and critical line of reasoning concerning
indexing and retrieval of music in Swedish public libraries. The focus of
the discussion is based on the terms included in the subject heading list of
the Swedish Classification System. The empirical study is performed in
the context of online catalogues in the public libraries of Örebro and
Gävle. The theoretical background relies on the indexing theory of
Professor Frederick W. Lancaster. An issue being discussed is in what
extent the subject headings represent the music recordings in a pertinent
way. One of the conclusions are that due to the lack of practicing the
principle of specificity there are terms that have not been used in
indexing. As a result of this and other problems I belive that the
controlled vocabulary is in need of an update, which according to my
opinion should include adding new terms as well as term deletion.
