Library Sciences QUESTION #1502
Question 1
In verbal subject approaches, a pre-coordinated subject heading system combines multiple subject concepts at which stage?
  • At the time of searching
  • At the time of indexing✔️
  • At the time of acquisition
  • At the time of shelving
Correct Answer Explanation
Pre-coordination occurs at the time of indexing — the cataloguer combines multiple concepts into a single complex heading before the record is stored. Post-coordination allows users to combine terms at the time of searching.
