Do you believe that the access SCIS is providing to works of fiction through SCISSHL is:

1. taking full advantage of the provisions for access described in SCISSHL and the standards document?
I am actually rather undecided about this at this point. The subject headings used seem at times to be too specific, though I suppose that is a good thing. It seems to subdivide well with subject headings for themes, but not so much with genres from the few books I looked at.

2. appropriate to the access needs to users in a school with which you are familiar?
My school library experience is limited, I look forward to seeing just how effective the subject headings for fiction are in the future. I think that searching for ideas for something to read using the subject headings would be a bit cumbersome and perhaps they are not as detailed as they could be, but students tend to just browse the shelves anyway.

Not completely sure about this study task, other than the fact that I have done a terrible job of it. Too much to do though, must move on!
