A subject label is a tag or a label that experts have agreed upon to refer to an item or idea.
This makes searching for information faster and easier, without having to predict different terms or wordings for the same topic.
For example, if looking for information about the history of pride month and activism, the agreed upon terminology from the Library of Congress (most widely used) is "Gay liberation movement--United States--History".
Nobody has these memorized! You can use their search engine to find an exact heading on a topic.
