About Subjects
The "Subject" field provides a place to record the general, overall topic of the item. Important notes about this field:
- THIS IS AN OPTIONAL field. If you are not sure how to fill it out, leave it blank.
- Entries in this field should get at the "aboutness" of the item, not just whether it is tangentially related to a topic. Ask yourself, "Is this item actually about [topic]?"
- Geographical locations should be put under the Place field instead of Subject.
- You can enter multiple subjects for a single item; use the "+" to add another term
- The Commonly-Used Subject Terms list is below. Whenever possible, instead of making new subject terms, choose from one of the terms on this list.
- Any new subject terms should always be taken from an established thesaurus.
