Subject headings for Rudy Owens’ memoir

Because of the structural barriers all self-published works face to be “officially indexed” through the Library of Congress (LOC) system, I have created a LOC subject index that uses the library’s official subject heading system. Purchasers at libraries and other organizations may wish to consider using these subject headings when adding my work to their catalogue. I would be happy to answer any questions as well. Please contact me.
