Abstract

Subject access to the Journal of the Interdenominational Theological Center (JITC) is presently restricted due to the lack of an index that reflects the new and emerging vocabulary of the theologies of liberation from the Black perspective. The purpose of this research project, therefore, is to provide a thorough analysis of the system of categories engaged in the preparation of a subject approach to indexing the JITC. These categories include inquiry into the 'theologies of liberation,' 'indexing principles,' 'descriptors,' and 'computer-assisted indexing.' All of these parameters provide insight and impact the ultimate purpose of the study, i.e., to allow the 'new vocabulary' developed in the investigation to come into prominence and to suggest that the literature of the JITC may assist the liberation movement in constructing the nucleus of a new theological consensus.
