Coverage A separate field to represent the spatial or temporal aspects of the content of the resource. If a place name is the location of a publisher, it should go into a DC Publisher field. If the date refers to the date a resource was created it should go into a DC Date field.
Coverage refers only to the subject content of the resource.
This is a large file that contains many geographic headings. It is also the authority file used by the UW Libraries Catalog and many UW Libraries digital projects. The LCSH authority file is not yet available over the Web, but you can find LCSH terms in the UW Libraries Catalog by doing a Library of Congress Subject search. The UW Libraries digital projects have used a format different from normal LCSH format for geographic locations to improve keyword access. The TGN includes all continents and nations of the modern political world, as well as historical places.
