Subjects (4)

Organisations as Subject headings - some guidelines

1. Be consistent when using the names of organisations as terms in the Subject field.

2. It is best to use only one form of the Company name as a Subject.

3. Use an Authority File for names of organisations / or companies to be used as a term in the Subject field.

4. Names of organisations change - generally use the latest names
For example:
Bayswater Primary School
Rather than
Bayswater State School

5. As churches often have common names, the place name is usually included when used as a term in the Subject field.
For example:
St Stephens Anglican Church, Bayswater
St Stephens Anglican Church, Richmond

6. Do not use apostrophes in names of organisations when used as terms in the Subject field.
