Redundancy and uniqueness of subject access points in online catalogs

"The purpose of this study is to examine to what extent the classification number, title, and subject heading fields in catalog records overlap each other in providing subject access points (SAPs), to determine the unique SAPs existing in these fields, and to explore the relationship of the three subject-rich fields and four Dewey Decimal Classification classes--300s (Social Sciences), 500s (Natural Sciences and Mathematics), 600s (Technology (Applied Sciences)), and 700s (the Arts--Fine and Decorative Arts) at the ""concept"" or ""subject idea"" level."
