Name headings

Exercise 8

Name headings for the following topics do not exist in SCISSHL but can be found by doing a Headings/Subject search on SCIS OPAC. Use SCIS OPAC to determine the subject heading which has been created by a SCIS cataloguer for each of the following topics.

a. The tiger snake: tiger snake
b. The human kidneys : Human anatomy; kidneys
c. The ‘Titanic’: Ships; Titanic (Ship)
d. The band, Red Hot Chili Peppers: Bands (music); Red Hot Chili Peppers (Band)
e. The Powerhouse Museum in Sydney: Sydney - Galleries and museums; Powerhouse Museum. (The answers stated 'Powerhouse Museum (N.S.W.), I am not sure why at this stage...)

So what I understand from this exercise is that you can create a subject heading that is not of the list. It will just be in your catalogue so it does not impact the SCIS list and make it unmanageable. You can only add these headings if there is a specific example note stating that you can. For example:
"Snakes
Specific Example Note
See also names of particular snakes*, e.g. Cobras."

I have to say, secretly I am kind of enjoying these exercises... :)
