Abstract

Briefly describes the new features of the recently released 22nd edition of the Sears List of Subject Headings. Introduces its new publisher Grey House Publishing, Amenia, N.Y., which recently acquired comprehensive rights for the Sears along with its aboriginal publisher, the H W Wilson from the Ebsco Information Services. The system is available both in print and online versions. Names a few new subject headings in areas like science, technology, engineering and medicine (STEM). In this edition, there are a total of 1,600 new headings making it a total of 12,000+ preferred headings meant for subject access in small and medium sized libraries. This unprecedented increase of about 1,600 headings is mostly due the complete incorporation of the Canadian Sears last published independently in 2006. Also critically examines inconsistencies in a few headings. Concludes to say the new edition in resplendent, hard binding maintains its stellar reputation of a handy list of general subject headings both for applications and a teaching resource.
