The 2014 BISAC Subject Headings List includes updated BISAC to Thema and BIC to BISAC Mappings, which will be released this winter. Please watch for those announcements.
The BISAC Subject Headings are maintained by BISG’s Subject Codes Committee, chaired for the 10th year by Connie Harbison of Baker & Taylor. Committee members represent major publishers, wholesalers and other data aggregators, libraries and library service providers, and retailers. The Committee makes changes based on a careful evaluation of requests from both publishers and individual BISAC code users, often independent authors.
