Hi David,
The following are subjects, derived from Library of Congress' classification scheme (and modified slightly), that I was planning on using for AALN. Ignore the number before--that's just the call number and would have been an easier way for our system to pick up the info. LC's kind of old-fashioned (note the number of classifications for Christianity!) and may not be suitable for our needs...
Best,
Pamela
