Abstract
The paper examines the systems approach to subject structuring. It presents an overview of empirical studies undertaken to test the postulates relating to subject structuring. Entropy provides a measure of disorganization in a system. Structured subject representations are considered as systems and the measure of entropy is applied to determine the extent of distortion in the communication of the intended messages
