Local Subject Headings

To facilitate searching across collections and to maintain the integrity of the database, the use of local subject headings is discouraged. When local subjects are used they should coded with a 2nd indicator of 4 to shield them from authority control. Exceptions have been made for the following applications of local subjects:

• • Brooklyn to retain practice of: $z Brooklyn (New York, NY). When this geographic subdivision is applied, the heading will be duplicated with the standard $z New York (State) $z New York subdivision to facilitate collocation across the database.

  • Brooklyn to retain practice of: 710 2 Brooklyn Museum.$t The machine age in American, 1918-1941.

  • Brooklyn Wilbour Library materials receive local egyptological subject and name headings.

  • MoMA to retain following practices:
