I wish to second Karen Anderson's comments about using a thesarus such as AAT
in one's collection software. Free text is all well and good, but a controlled
vocabulary makes searching ten times easier. If you don't want to use the AAT,
then at least use the Library of Congress's Subject Headings thesarus.
