Adding Subject Headings Can subject headings be added to PALs pick-list of subject headings?
Yes. You are not limited to the list of subject headings included with the program. You can add your own subject headings. And, in fact, you should be adding your own subject headings as needed. For example, let’s say you have a new book written about the life of someone named Mary Jones. You would then need to create a new subject heading “Jones, Mary — Biography” This, of course, is not in our included list of sample subject headings. (You would then assign the call number “92” which is the call number for biographies of individuals). PAL’s database of subject headings and associated Dewey numbers is based on SEARS LIST OF SUBJECT HEADINGS, 15th ed. (New York, H.W.Wilson Co.). However, you can easily add to, delete, or edit the headings that come with PAL.
