Subject headings

What you call links and tags, we librarians call "subject headings". A well-chosen set of links, using exact names for people, places, or things, really does help. I confess to adding a few links to external sites that contain more information than I can summarize, but not often. Another good link would be to include names of personages whose names appear in the posting, be they Nikola Tesla to King Kamehameha. I will sometimes append links to bring in subjects that pertain to a posting, such as taking account of weather conditions or "fake photography". NOTE: Crediting quotes/citatons: If I quote a comment from another site, I will credit the author and the site; that is standard bibliographic practice, on line or in print.

When really in doubt, find a copy of SEARS' LIST OF SUBJECT HEADINGS at your local library. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
