Placenames as subject headings Library of Congress Subject Headings. Place (Qualifier) – Subject – Form Subject – Qualifier – Place Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names. Hierarchical structure e.g. World – Europe – United Kingdom – Scotland – Glasgow – Unitary Authority British Museum/Home grown subject headings. Place – Subject – Date– Form

A bit about placenames … Ineloid, Ineloid = Inchina Inchina Bunnahabhain or Bonavon? HOYK Strachan Isle of Amron

Check your OPAC! Do the cartographic fields display? Do they appear in a logical order? Do the symbols display correctly? "Central meridian is 12  east of Greenwich".
