Subject analysis
Assigning subjects is done with controlled vocabulary, we dont just
make this stuff, up either by using Library of Congress subject headings(LCSH) Annotated Childrens, Sears, MESH
Controlled vocabulary is a fancy way of saying that all libraries use
certain terms consistently to describe the same concept or type of item
The sources you use e.g. Sears, LC, MESH to obtain subject headings areoften called thesauri

Bibliographic records for each item can contain multiplesubject headings, but can only have one call numberthatitem can only be in one place on your shelf.
Subject headings are located in the 6XX tag Subject headings look like this:
Magic Fiction. LC Heading
Witches Fiction. LC Heading
Dogs Juvenile Fiction. LC Childrens or
Sears
