Summary
Policy making in subject indexing in Icelandic
Libraries and information centres
The article gives a condensed survey of the current scene of
subject indexing in Icelandic libraries and information
centres. The objectives of subject indexing are discussed
and its importance for information retrieval. It compares
natural and controlled indexing languages and discusses
post-coordinate and pre-coordinate indexing and further
the literary warrant principle in indexing and the
advantages of using a thesaurus. The policies and practices
in indexing in the United States, in the other Nordic
countries, in the UK and in German speaking countries as
well are described briefly. It is argued that that taking up
controlled language subject indexing will be inevitable in
Iceland with the implementation of a national library
system, which will also serve as a union catalogue for the
whole country. Reports on an existing general thesaurus in
Icelandic, which needs to be enlarged and expanded.
Besides, special thesauri have to be developed as off-shots
from the general one. Discusses and makes suggestions for
a cooperative indexing policy in Iceland by establishing a
Subject indexing Committee on national level. The article
concludes by stating that much effort is needed on behalf of
Icelandic libraries in harmonizing and standardizing su-
bject indexing in libraries and information centers in the
country and encourages the Icelandic library community to
join forces and start working on the issue.
