Abstract

Abstract Limitations of the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) in assigning subject access terms for Philippine Cordillera materials are presented. A number of Indigenous terms that have no American or English language equivalent are described, as well as issues with spelling variations, nomenclature, and local terms in the different languages and dialects. With the cataloging and indexing policy of University of the Philippines System Libraries adopting the use of LCSH and assigning broader concepts to local terms when no translation and specific representations exist, low findability of materials is expected. Steps to address the problems and solutions to improve searching are discussed and recommended.

语言主体获取土著材料：菲律宾科迪勒拉案例

摘要介绍了美国国会图书馆学科标题（LCSH）在为菲律宾科迪勒拉材料分配学科访问术语方面的局限性。描述了一些没有美国或英语对等语言的土著术语，以及不同语言和方言的拼写变化、命名法和当地术语的问题。由于菲律宾大学系统图书馆的编目和索引政策采用LCSH，并在没有翻译和具体表述的情况下为当地术语分配更广泛的概念，预计材料的可查找性很低。讨论并推荐了解决这些问题的步骤和改进搜索的解决方案。
