Re: Subject Listing in Serials Solutions 360 Core - HILCC Reclassification [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] Dyer, Renata 30 Sep 2009 23:55 UTC
I agree with you Twila. I think that the subject listing currently available on SS portal is all too generic and could maybe fit only public libraries users needs. Similarly to you I work in a special library; our interest relates to economics, fiscal policy, retirement schemes, taxation, modelling, legislation in regards to all just mentioned and many more... The subjects such as Superannuation or even Pensions or Taxation are not available in HILCC used by Serials Solutions and we would really like to see SS investing a bit in doing something about it.

My issue lies in the fact that there are inaccuracies in these categories, for example, no listing for Orthopedics under Health and Biological Sciences (this is just one example). The categories are defined by the HILCC Classification. SS said that they purchased the HILCC Classification and felt they could not change it. In emailing the developer of the HILCC Classification he said that SS had purchased it and could make any changes they wanted to it. When I sent that information to SS, the reply was that "that the restructuring bits of HILCC is a long term project that we will be working on when we have the resources". This sounds like permanent shelving to me.... I would be interested in knowing if there are other SS users out there that would like to see HILCC restructured or have seen other issues in the structuring of HILCC.
