Hello,
At Inverclyde Libraries we are looking at how to improve subject access to
our fiction stock through the application of genre headings (655 field) in
our catalogue. Our aim is to provide a current awareness service to
customers using such headings to alert them to new books in the various
genres, We currently use some headings such as 'Historical fiction' and
'War stories' but there were will be several others that could be used
effectively.
Do you know of a standard list of genre headings that we could use?
Do you use such headings regularly and do your customers find them helpful
?
Anyl replies will be much appreciated.
