- One of the challenges of studying ethnic groups is the abundant and changing terminology associated with these groups and their study. This article explains the Library of Congress subject headings (LCSH) that relate to ethnic groups, ethnology, and ethnic diversity and how they are used in libraries. A database that uses a controlled vocabulary, such as LCSH, can be invaluable when doing research on ethnic groups, because it can help searchers conduct searches that are precise and comprehensive.
