Inverted Subject Heading : Example


1.  Folk dancing $z India
                This heading would be for any style of folk dancing in India, such as American folk dancing or Maori folk dancing--done in India.

2.  Folk dancing, Indic [May Subd Geog]
                This heading would be for Indic-style folk dancing outside of India (Folk dancing, Indic--California); or for Indic-style folk dancing in a specific place in India (Folk dancing, Indic--India--New Delhi).  You wouldn't use Folk dancing, Indic--Indiawithout further geographic subdivision because it would be redundant.
