Publisher's Synopsis
Brown's work offers subject access to materials on all aspects of African American life and culture-from the A.M.E. Church to zoning. Using the same format as the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), the book lists approximately 3,000 subject headings that are interfaced with and interlinked to the LCSH and provide a logical continuum for the subject access of materials on the African American experience in the United States. As a supplement to LCSH, this list will be invaluable to catalogers. Useful as a search tool for patrons of academic, public, special, and school library/information centers, the book will also serve library professionals in collection development and benefit students and faculty involved with African American studies.
