| Summary: | Developing a taxonomy for local content collection is a massive challenge for librarians which involves understanding the complexity of a particular subject classification. This paper aims to report the analysis of the taxonomy developed for the Sports Science & Recreational compared to Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). The analysis employs subject analysis as the methodology for comparing expert-assigned keywords with LCSH. The analysis found 6 divisions in the local content compared to only 2 divisions in LCSH, and 364 subjects compared to only 98 in LCSH. The percentage of terms categories includes exact terms used (14%), similar terms used (11%), and not used terms (97%). |
