Reparative Cataloging at the WRLC
|
|
The Library of Congress does not have any updates or changes to LCSH for May 2024. However, there are a few interesting subject headings in the tentative lists for June 2024 that were proposed by SACO libraries for review by the Library of Congress:
-
Multiracial people - to replace Racially mixed people
-
Pregnant men - new term used for Pregnant transgender men
-
Miscegenation (Racism) - to replace Miscegenation
In other news, the Middle East and Islamic Studies (MEIS) Funnel has launched a webpage on the Middle East Librarians Association’s Committee on Cataloging website: https://mela.us/conc/meis-funnel/ As stated on the website, the Funnel “enables catalogers, subject librarians, and scholars to submit proposals for additions and changes to Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), Library of Congress Demographic Group Terms (LCDGT), Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT), and Library of Congress Classification (LCC) in the area of Middle East and Islamic Studies.” This website has a guide to help with the proposal creation process. Proposals may be submitted via email to the coordinators or using a Google form. They also accept requests for headings if you are unable to create a proposal.
As always, if you see headings or descriptions that you feel should be updated or changed, please submit the Reparative description heading reporting form created by the subgroup or join us at our next meeting on June 26, 2024.

APAC's Idea of the Month:
Make location choice mandatory on the resource sharing form
|
|
Suggested by Jennifer Fritz at GW Law.
If a user has the option of choosing between multiple pickup locations in their resource sharing form, make this field mandatory and the location drop down menu read:
Choose one: (<--- default choice is no choice)
Location 1
Location 2
Location 3
Etc.
Right now, the default is based on a setting that could be, for example, the patron's home library. What I'm specifically requesting is that the default is "Choose one" and that the choosing be mandatory.
