Mission Statement The mission of the Cataloging Unit is to describe and organize Cornette Library resources in accordance with national standards and local practice so that patrons may identify and retrieve appropriate materials from the collection to meet their information needs. How are the terms used in LC (Library of Congress) subject headings determined? In the construction of subject headings, the Library of Congress considers user needs, current usage, and "literary warrant." In an attempt to meet user needs, the Library of Congress assumes that subject headings allow the patron to locate an item of which the subject is known and to find what the library has on a subject. To ascertain the current usage aspect of subject heading construction, reference works such as general indexes and thesauri are consulted, as well as current literature in the specific field. The concept "literary warrant" refers to the literature on which the subject headings are based. In other words, subject terms used in works taken from the library's own collection are in turn, used in the formulation of subject headings.
