Are Ulrichs subject headings the same as Library of Congress or Dewey Decimal subject headings?
No. Ulrich’s Subject Headings are proprietary subject headings used to classify the serials in the Ulrich’s database. They are generally based on Library of Congress (LC) subjects, but are created and maintained by Ulrich’s. The subject headings are overseen by our Ulrich’s editorial team. Ulrich’s subjects are known and respected in the library community, are patron-friendly and provide an easy-to-utilize, flexible alternative to Dewey Decimal Classification and Library of Congress subject classifications for serials.
