Some of these factors and issues are reviewed and implications drawn for information system design in the era of electronic access. Specifically the following are discussed: <I >Human factors:</I > Subject searching vs. indexing, multiple terms of access, folk classification, basic-level terms, and folk access; <I >Database factors:</I > Bradford's Law, vocabulary scalability, the Resnikoff-Dolby 30:1 Rule; <I >Domain factors:</I > Role of domain in indexing.
