I know this is new only to me, but after receiving one issue, I already don't know how I lived before I began my subscription to the Library of Congress Subject Headings Weekly List.
In addition to being funny, they're educational if you look up every word or place you don't know.
Favorite new subject headings from this week:
- 150 Clam culture [May Subd Geog] [sp 85026543]
* 450 UF Clam farming
* 450 UF Farming, Clam - (C) 150 Comic books, strips, etc.--Influence on mass media [May Subd Geog] [sp2007020028]
450 UF Mass media--Influence of comic books, strips, etc., on - 150 Fish trade [May Subd Geog] [sp 85048657]
* 450 UF Fisheries trade - (C) 150 Norville, Kitty (Fictitious character) [Not Subd Geog] [sp2007008412]
450 UF Kitty Norville (Fictitious character)
note--Kitty is the protagonist of the yummy Kitty and The Midnight Hour werewolf novels. - (C) 150 Screw caps [May Subd Geog] [sp2007010165]
550 BT Caps and closures
note--They can establish a heading for screw caps and not for second-wave feminism and third-wave feminism?!? I guess bottling enthusiasts publish a lot more books than I would have thought. - (C) 150 Minority high school students [May Subd Geog] [sp2007008479]
550 BT High school students
550 BT Minority students
note--To what minorities are they referring? High school students of color? High school students who would benefit from abstinence only education? High school students under 18? - (C) 150 Transgender prisoners [May Subd Geog] [sp2007020083]
550 BT Prisoners - 150 Wildfires [May Subd Geog] [sp 85146723]
