Sažetak
The paper deals with the subject headings systems in the continuing resources collections and the possibility of access by subject /classification codes in library catalogs. The paper will examine and explore subject headings used for continuing resources on the selected sample of Croatian serials and other continuing resources. In the analysis of the selected Croatian libraries’ OPACs the method of observation was used to investigate the relationship between bibliographic records and subject headings systems. Special attention was paid to the fourteen journals from the field of humanities and social sciences, and the possibility of access by subject/classification codes in the selected OPACs. The research was conducted through the analysis of bibliographic records and library OPACs. Taking into account the new IFLA standards FRBR and FRSAD, and the Statement of International Cataloguing Principles, the possibilities of users’ access were also discussed, as well as the goals and objectives of the library catalog – the goal of gathering items through subject cataloguing of continuing resources in libraries, the goal of finding - the possibility of subject headings search in library catalogs, and the goal of easy movement among the different works dealing with the same subject. The research and the analysis presented in this paper describe the current cataloging practices in Croatia regarding the subject cataloguing and give recommendations for future work on how to satisfy the users’ needs by providing access to information: find, identify, search/select, obtain.
