Post short, substantive, and thoughtful responses to the following questions:
Offer a definition of subject access using your own words and in a way that a layperson (outside LIS) could understand. Cite your sources.
This is a very open question that offers students a chance to identify and discuss some of the things learned about subject access as a descriptive activity in LIS from the Cochrane symposium/readings. Focus your discussion with reference to subject access in LIS.
Identify and discuss intersections and divergences you noticed between the range of ideas and opinions captured in the 1984 American Libraries “mini symposium” on subject access lead by Professor Cochrane and the discussion Rowley & Hartley and Buckland take to explain subject access in LIS. Be specific and use examples. (Be sure to cite your sources.)
