     * we could additionally develop a BISAC to LOC (for NNELS) crosswalk?
     * we could also map LOC to BISAC. Is there a crosswalk that already exists?
+.............................
+If we go with a simplified version of LOC we could copy catalogue from libraries easily enough.  How would we determine what the subset is?  Do we just cap the depth of the subject heading at like 2 or 3 layers or something and lop off anything beyond that?
+I think regardless, it might be worthwhile putting one BISAC heading in.  BISAC seems to use pretty natural language, and I assume the keyword searches might have an easy time hitting on one of the parts of a BISAC heading.  I do think BISAC lacks the depth to be used alone, although the lack of depth also allows a heading to be picked from the list of terms and applied with relative ease. - RM
+I am not as familiar with the collection as I would have liked to be. From the record sets I have been working on, BISAC would be a good fit. - LL
