26. June 2003INIS Training Seminar26 Subject Classification u Checking of the relevance to the database If a specific and appropriate subject category can be assigned to a piece of literature that contains worthwhile information, this piece of literature should be selected and reported to the database u Defining the subject area(s) the subject category defines the specific subject area and determines where the item should be listed in printed publications u Retrieval tool tool for increasing the relevance of retrieval by restricting the search strategy on specific concepts or by excluding other areas
