LCSH Weekly List 08, 2008

Here it is, LCSH Weekly List 08 (February 20, 2008). I've divided my favorites into three categories: "Why now / aka it's about time," "Gotta be a lotta books about, way more than about the waves of feminism," and "I don't know what it's all about, but I'm intrigued."

WHY NOW / AKA IT'S ABOUT DAMNED TIME

(C) 150 Bucket, Charlie (Fictitious character) [Not Subd Geog]
* 450 UF Karol Szaflik (Fictitious character)
* 450 UF Szaflik, Karol (Fictitious character)

150 Cruising (Sexual behavior) [May Subd Geog]
450 UF Sex cruising
550 BT Sex

(A) 150 Dot (Symbol)

150 Infertility [May Subd Geog]
* 450 UF Involuntary childlessness

150 Youth and war [May Subd Geog]
450 UF War and youth

GOTTA BE A LOTTA BOOKS ABOUT, WAY MORE THAN ABOUT THE WAVES OF FEMINISM

(C) 151 Cal Ripken Way (Baltimore, Md.)
667 This heading is not valid for use as a geographic subdivision.
451 UF Ripken Way (Baltimore, Md.)
550 BT Express highways-Maryland
551 BT Interstate 395 (Baltimore, Md.)

150 Footbridges-Singapore
(How about This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color, which was partially a critique of second-wave feminism, has to live with Feminism--Literary collections as its primary subject heading?)

550 BT Bycatches (Fisheries)

150 Krusty the Clown (Fictitious character) [Not Subd Geog]
450 UF Hershel Krustofski (Fictitious character)
450 UF Krustofski, Hershel (Fictitious character)
450 UF Krusty (Fictitious character)
(You have to love that they bothered to trace it. Though I wonder why there are no broader Simpons terms.)

(C) 150 M33 helmet [Not Subd Geog]
450 UF Modello 1933 (Helmet)
450 UF Modello 33 (Helmet)
550 BT Helmets-Italy

150 Pinstripes (Decorative arts) [May Subd Geog]
450 UF Pin stripes (Decorative arts)
450 UF Pinstriping (Decorative arts)
550 BT Stripes

150 Pinstriping of motor vehicles [May Subd Geog]

(C) 150 Reversible traffic lanes [May Subd Geog]
550 BT Convertible lanes and roads

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT, BUT I'M INTRIGUED
