Summary

The Sears List is used worldwide in small- and medium-sized libraries to provide subject access to library collections. It has constantly been revised and kept up to date, in both method and content, by incorporating new subjects and reorganizing material. The Sears List is also a good choice for teaching subject headings work in library schools.
