Hi All

I have received this message from a collegue in the Librarys
collection organisation section.  It relates to one of their staff
with a vision impairment who uses Zoomtext but is having trouble in
gaining easy access to Library of Congress subject headings - does
anyone have any ideas, is there an electronic version??? or other
methods of accessing this.
