150 Banks and banking—Contracting out [May Subd Geog] [sp2009009354]
550 BT Contracting out
Warrant: Business process outsourcing relationships in Swiss banking. "Contracting out," eh? The scope note for Contracting out, which is the heading you are directed to from Outsourcing, reads, "Here are entered works on the practice by government agencies and business organizations of hiring a contractor to perform parts of an operation rather than performing the tasks themselves. Works on the engagement of third parties to perform all or specified parts of the work required in another, primary contract are entered under |a Subcontracting." I have to say, I'd be interested in the results of a study of outsourcing of banking services in (from) the US.

I don't have a problem with this, and I do understand that the distinction between the two are very clear to catalogers, just as the difference between Fan magazines and Fanzines is to me.

Kennedy’s dog, Champion Amigo’s Seventh Wave, or Splash, introduces readers to Washington, D.C., as he follows the senator around for a day.)" But don't you think there's even more warrant for Butch and Femme headings?
