Note: This is a graded lab. You will, of course, work independently, but you may use notes, any printed references and resources, or you may enlist the aid of the teaching assistant or the instructor (although you should not expect definitive answers from this venue...). Collegial support is strictly forbidden. Violators will be folded, spindled and mutilated.

Note Further: Should you inadvertently "submit" before you are ready, rest assured that I will grade the last submission you make.

Purpose: To provide further experience with Sears List of Subject Headings and Library of Congress Subject Headings, and to further compare the two subject headings lists.

Procedure: Working off-line initially, for each of the "titles" below, select the best and most appropriate subject heading(s) from Sears and from LCSH. Please use the edition 16 of Sears and the edition 20 or later of LCSH. When you are satisfied with your choices, enter them (with individual subject headings numbered with Arabic numerals) into the appropriate boxes below. If you want to add any explanatory commentary, feel free to do so, although make clear which are your answers and which is your commentary. When you have everything looking just as you want it, press the "submit" button below. You must submit your answers by 12 noon on Saturday, July 10.
