BISAC SUBJECT HEADINGS

2007 Edition
Approved: September 28, 2007
Posted: October 23, 2007
 

TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING
 For subheadings that overlap those in the SCIENCE section, use subjects in this section for works dealing with practical applications and use subjects in the SCIENCE section for works of a theoretical or historical nature.

Use subjects beginning with "TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / Agriculture" for works aimed at farmers or agronomists (or for general works on the specified topics).  For works on practical operations in the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants, use subjects in the GARDENING section.  For works on the commercial cultivation of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and ornamental plants, use "SCIENCE / Life Sciences / Horticulture".

Use subjects beginning with "TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / Construction" for works concerning the technical or trade aspects of construction.  For historical works and/or works aimed at architects or design professionals, use subjects in the ARCHITECTURE section.  For similar works aimed at nonprofessionals, use subjects in the HOUSE & HOME section.

An asterisk (*) denotes a heading that is new for the 2007 Edition.

Step 2:  Once you have selected your major heading, determine the specific term which describes your book.
