Ejournal Topical Subject Listing

Create an alphabetical listing of topics based on the HILCC table where each entry searches & retrieves the corresponding CCC result set.  Specific requirements follow:

  1. Alphabetical List

    For each HILCC category that has at least one corresponding hit in the current ejournals file (i.e., where the HILCC category has actually been assigned to a bib item), create an entry / link in the Topical Subject List that retrieves the listings for that CCCategory.   (See exceptions & exclusions in section 3 below.)

    Use as the anchor (display text) for each link content from, in order of preference,

    1. the "alternate display text" column of the HILCC table if non-null

    2. the lowest level HILCC category that is non-null

  2. Exceptions & Exclusions

    For the highest level "Cluster" terms, do not create a dynamic lookup link but instead create a static link to a special subject guide page. Use the following list of current cluster terms and the names of the corresponding static pages.   (Note this list will change over time.)
