Abstract
The aim of this paper is to show the specificity in the formation of subject headings that express the relationship or influence in the subject headings controlled vocabulary lists of the Zagreb City Libraries. Subject headings that will be discussed express the relationship between two concepts, two disciplines, the mutual influence between two authors, relations between the two countries, etc. This relationship or influence in the subject cataloging system of the Zagreb City Libraries is displayed with subject linking of two subject headings with orthographic sign of colon (:). In this paper a historical overview of sources of such practice will be presented and a short analysis of the rules that apply to these types of headings will be given. The Zagreb City Libraries system of subject cataloging will be also compared with the Library of Congress Subject Headings system (LCSH), illustrated with examples. Finally the advantages and disadvantages of such specific subject headings will be analyzed.
