Abstract
This study aims to compare the performance of LCSH and PRECIS for the books published in 1987 in the field of library and information science (LIS) in order to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of each system. Subject headings and PRECIS strings assigned for 82 titles
have been analyzed and the two major subject access systems have been compared regarding the number of entries, exhaustivity and specificity of the entries provided, the variety of subdivisions, and other qualitative features.
