Local subject headings are not nationally authorized, and are usually coded in fields 690 or 691. Approved headings are under authority control in the Polaris database.

Local subject headings must be approved by the CCS Data Services Librarian. If you are considering using a local subject heading other than those specifically mentioned below, first search for an appropriate authorized form and, if found, use that instead. If you cannot find an authorized form, then contact the Data Services Librarian by opening a help desk ticket.

SCRAP will review headings that may be useful for all CCS libraries.

Criteria to be considered:

  • Is there another already established LCSH heading that could be used?
  • Will the suggested heading only be used for a period of time, such as a short-term summer reading program? Instead of adding a heading, use a record set to promote these items.
  • Does the heading being suggested follow the same structure as an LCSH heading?
