Where One Descriptor Ends

Literary Warrant, Lead-In Terms and the Spread of Green economy in a Regional Development Library's Thesaurus, 1984–2021

A paper from the School of Underlying Conditions and the School of Emergent Priorities follows one descriptor, Green economy, through seven editions of a regional development agency library's thesaurus and the 412 warrant slips behind them. Admitted in 1993 with a narrow scope note and one lead-in term, it carried 31 lead-ins by 2021, 30 added as minor amendments on a single indexer's slip, while its scope note was revised once, to be narrower, and its neighbour Regional development lost four lead-ins to it.
