Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Subject Headings for Children
Lois Winkel · 1998
55/100
👎 Skip It
This is a solid, authoritative professional cataloging reference that served a clear need in 1994 — but it has been substantially superseded by LC's freely available online Children's Subject Headings, and its audience is narrow enough that it belongs in a library science shelf, not a general reading recommendation. Useful if you are a cataloger who prefers print; irrelevant to everyone else.
