Frequently Asked Questions About AI Library Cataloging
What is the difference between LCSH and FAST headings?
LCSH (Library of Congress Subject Headings) are pre-coordinated subject headings that combine multiple concepts, while FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology) breaks these into individual faceted terms. Our AI tool focuses on LCSH for traditional library cataloging needs.
How does AI help in library cataloging?
AI automates the time-consuming process of subject analysis by analyzing text content and suggesting appropriate LCSH terms. Our two-stage reasoning engine first identifies potential subjects, then justifies and ranks the most relevant terms, significantly reducing cataloging time.
Can I use Classifyes for non-English books?
Yes! Classifyes supports multilingual input. You can enter text in any language, and our AI will analyze the content and suggest appropriate English LCSH terms. We also provide a specialized English-Turkish LCSH database.
How do I find subject headings for a research paper?
Simply paste your research paper's abstract, title, or key sections into our Classifyes LCSH Suggester tool. Our AI will analyze the content and provide the most relevant subject headings along with justifications for each suggestion.
