Week 6: Types of Subdivision

 by Zee on 18/10/2012
What is types of subdivisions?
  • Narrow the scope of a heading
  • Bring out specific aspects of a subject  

Types of subdivisions:    
(1) Topical:  
Limit the concept of a heading to a specific subtopic. It could represent the actions, attributes or    aspects         

Archaeology--Methodology  

(2) Form:  
Indicate what an item is rather than what it is about.


Technology--Bibliography--Periodicals
(for a bibliography that is issued as a periodical)  

(3) Chronological:  
Indicate the time period covered in the work.

Archaelogy--History--18th century  


(4) Geographic
If a work discusses a topic in regard to a specific location, geographic subdivisions may be used to group together common coverage 

Archaelogy--Egypt


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


In LCSH, a heading may have its subdivision if being indicated as follows:
Example 1: 
If the book's subject heading is about "Architect-designed jewellery" and the origins of the subject matter is in Malaysia; the cataloging should be recorded as follows:


Architect--Designed jewellery--Malaysia

Example 2:  
If the book's Narrower Term (NT) is as shown in Example 2, the cataloging should be as follows:


 Architectural firms--Malaysia

 
Example of practical hour:

BOOK 1
 



 

 How did I determine the subdivision for this book?


Step 1: 
The Subject heading "Mosque" indicated with "(May Subd Geog)". 
Hence, I catalogued it as Mosque--Malaysia as the content of the book discusses about mosques in Malaysia.

Step 2: 
As for its BT, I chosed  Architecture, Islamic as the content of the book explains about the architectural design guideline

Step 3:
As the book also explains in general about mosque as community centres for contemporary muslims, so, I also include second Broader Term for this book : Community centers.

So, the descriptive cataloging for this book is as follows:
 
Mohamad Tajuddin Haji Mohamad Rasdi.
     The mosque as a community development centre:
     programme and architectural design guideline for
     contemporary muslim societies/Mohamad Tajuddin Haji
     Mohamad Rasdi.- Skudai: Universiti Teknologi Malaysia,
     1998.
