Updated Serials Solutions subject lists

Received from Serials Solutions:
We're excited to announce that in response to client requests we will be moving our e-journal subject browsing feature to a new hierarchy based on Columbia University's Hierarchical Interface to Library of Congress Classification (HILCC) on December 15. This transition enables your library to employ a more powerful and flexible solution for browsing your e-journal collection by subject.

Librarians at Columbia developed HILCC as a method for mapping Library of Congress class numbers to a structured new system, and spent much time resolving the many challenges presented by this data. We have customized the hierarchy and combined it with our holdings information to ensure users have the best resource tool possible for browsing e-journals by subject.

More information on the HILCC can be found here.
