You know what I took this SH to mean. How should they deal with that? There should be a GOTHS (MUSIC) heading and a cross reference to it, right?
(C) 150 Historic house museums—Interpretive programs [May Subd Geog] [sp2009006793]
450 UF Historic house museum interpretation
450 UF Interpretive programs of historic house museums
550 BT Interpretation of cultural and natural resources
I'm so sorry I never encountered the subdivision INTERPRETIVE PROGRAMS before. Wtf does that mean? The warrant for this heading, Sugarcoated interpretations: a cautionary tale doesn't really help, unfortunately. However, the Library of Congress does have an Interpretive Programs Officer, so maybe I should ask him?
150 Irony in music [Not Subd Geog] [sp2009006952]
550 BT Music
They're seriously going to deny us a scope note on this one?!? The warrant is Irony and sound : the music of Maurice Ravel. Does that take anyone else back to Sunshine playing Bolero on her recorder in the movie Little Darlings to get Ferris's chosen deflowerer in the mood? (Or was it Angel's?)
(C) 150 Right to water [May Subd Geog] [sp2009006977]
680 Here are entered works on the right to water as a basic human right. Works on the
legal right of a user to use water from a specific source are entered under Water rights.
450 UF Water, Right to
550 BT Human rights
681 Note under Water rights
Does this seem ominous to anyone else?
