Sears List of Subject Headings. Edited by Joseph Miller. New York: H.W. Wilson Company, 2007. 1 vol. 823 p. $145.00. ISBN 978-0-8242-1076-2.

In spite of the fact that most school librarians buy their books pre-processed, this book is an essential purchase perhaps more so because of the ability to buy the cataloging. To help place those occasional resources into to the collection, assigning subject headings and Dewey Decimal location is made simple with this book. Reading the preface will remind you of why you didn’t become a cataloger.
