Subject access to fiction

Another article we were supposed to read prior to our trip to Mexico was Subject Access to Fiction: a case study based on the works of Pat Mora.  This article was published in the Library Services to Youth of Hispanic Heritage.

I found this article to be a much more of a difficult read.  I feel this is mostly due to the fact that it dove into a much more detailed look at the Library of Congress Subject Headings and about the cataloging of materials in other languages. 

I have very little practical experience with subject headings, especially to the specifics that the article discussed.  Even though I found the article to be harder to read I also thought that this particular article served the class in a more realistic way.  From what has been explained to us about the tasks we will be completing in San Miguel this article dealt with those topics and explained in detail about the standards that are currently in place to deal with discrepancies and issues related to different languages.
