INTRODUCTION
H H
This list consists of all free-floating subdivisions that appear in 1095 - 1200 in the
current edition ofthe Subject CatalogingManual: SubjectHeadings, and serves as an index to the
free-floatingsubdivisionsinthatpublication. Thiseighteentheditionofthelistisuptodatethrough
December 2005.
For each subdivision, a listing is provided ofthe free-floating lists in the manual where it
H
appears, identified by category. Since the subdivisions that appear in 1095 have no single,
identifiable category, the user is directed, by the notation "see SCM.SH," to consult H 1095 in the
Subject Cataloging Manual to determine appropriate usage. For subdivisions that have specific
instruction sheets inthemanual describingtheirusage, citationstothese areprovided inthecolumn
labeled "usage guidelines in scm:SH."
The list includes a column providing the MARC 21 subfield codes that apply to each
subdivision. The LibraryofCongressbegan applying subfieldcodevto formsubdivisions in 1999.
It should be noted that most subdivisions identified as form subdivisions and coded v in this
publicationmay alsobe assignedastopical subdivisionstoworksthatare aboutthosebibliographi-
cal forms. In such cases, the subdivisions are coded in the bibliographic record as x rather than v.
The coding provided here represents Library ofCongress cataloging practice. Some subdivisions
that may appear to be form subdivisions (such as -Manuscripts, -Personnel records, or-Poetic
works) are coded x because the Library ofCongress assigns them only to works that are aboutthe
form rather than to actual individual instances ofthe form. Other subdivisions that may appear to
be topical (such as -Congresses, -Identification, or-Pedigrees) are coded v because the Library
ofCongressusesthesesubdivisionsprimarilytodesignatebibliographicalforms(suchasconference
proceedings, identification guides, or pedigree books). The Library has made the decision to
consistently treat certainproblematic subdivisions such as -History, -History and criticism, and
-Law and legislation as topical and always to code them x. A full explanation ofthe distinctions
between topical, geographic, chronological, and form subdivisions is provided in the Subject
CatalogingManual: SubjectHeadings, 5th edition, H 1075, Subdivisions.
This list should be used with caution and only in conjunction with the Subject Cataloging
Manual. After locating a subdivision in the list, it is usually necessary, particularly for those
subdivisions listedinH 1095, toconsultthemanualtodeterminerestrictions onitsusage in specific
situations. These are found in footnotes or scope notes onthe free-floating lists in the manual or in
aninstructionsheetthatprovidesusageguidelines. Restrictionsofthistype arenot indicatedinthis
list.
