Free-Floating Subdivisions

Library of Congress has published a separate alphabetical listing of various subdivisions that can be used after any listed subject heading unless otherwise specified. This publication, Free-floating Subdivision: An Alphabetical Index, is a useful tool for libraries, indicating the various subdivisions that can be used. Subdivisions can be an effective way to add specificity to a subject heading, and if library staff are not familiar with the wide variety of available subdivisions, the index can be helpful.
