I agree with you Twila.
I think that the subject listing currently available on SS portal is all too generic and could maybe fit only public libraries users needs.
Similarly to you I work in a special library; our interest relates to economics, fiscal policy, retirement schemes, taxation, modelling, legislation in regards to all just mentioned and many more...
The subjects such as Superannuation or even Pensions or Taxation are not available in HILCC used by Serials Solutions and we would really like to see SS investing a bit in doing something about it.

Subject: [SERIALST] Subject Listing in Serials Solutions 360 Core - HILCC Reclassification

Hi All,

I have good usage of the 360 Core E-Journals, and use the subject categories
frequently to show physicians how they can link directly to the journals
available in their specialty.

My issue lies in the fact that there are inaccuracies in these categories, for
example, no listing for Orthopedics under Health and  Biological Sciences (this
is just one example). The categories are defined by the HILCC Classification.
SS said that they purchased the HILCC Classification and felt they could not
change it.  In emailing the developer of the HILCC Classification he said that
SS had purchased it and could make any changes they wanted to it.

When I sent that information to SS, the reply was that "that the restructuring
bits of HILCC is a long term project that we will be working on when we have
the resources".  This sounds like permanent shelving to me....
I would be interested in knowing if there are other SS users out there that
would like to see HILCC restructured or have seen other issues in the
structuring of HILCC.
