The project is a collaboration with the Royal Library , Stockholm University Library and Uppsala University Library, whereby the Royal Library supervises the project's co-ordination. There will be training-courses in LCSH and its guiding principles for a select group of librarians. Compared internationally Sweden seem to be dragging their feet when it comes to furthering developmental work on subject headings.
Several countries are currently co-operating and have established mutual principles.
Invariably the LCSH nearly always serves as an example. Occasionally there are literal translations though usually they are adapted to national needs and circumstances. Aside from the USA, the LCSH is practised in Canada and the United Kingdom. We feel it is high time that Sweden made its presence felt on the international scene. Mutual guidelines for subject headings is also important when cataloguing resources on the Internet using meta-data.
