A hearty welcome to the catalog from me!

680 Here are entered works on the feminist movement of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that focused on reform of women's social and legal inequalities, especially on the gaining of women's suffrage.

(Course they didn't take my advice and cross reference to suffrage. Maybe next week!)

680 Here are entered works on the period of feminist thought and activity that began in the 1960s and focused on economic and social equality for women, and on the rights of female minorities.

(Not sure I agree on this scope note.)
150 Third-wave feminism [May Subd Geog]

550 BT Feminism
(I'm glad to see the phrase "queer theory" and the word "womanism," but would it have killed them to mention riot grrrl?)

(I'm sure there's an explanation only a cataloger could love about how you can subdivide this heading geographically when it's in the 150 field, but not the 155...)
Who knew "conveyancing was a word"? (Not the dictionary on my word processor!)
150 Conveyancing [May Subd Geog]
* 550 RT Acknowledgments CANCEL
(Per the OED which I used online via Columbia's subscription, "{dag}1. The use of ‘conveyance’ or underhand practices; deceitful contrivance. Obs. ... 2. The drawing of deeds and other instruments, for the transference of property from one person to another; the branch of the law which deals with titles and their transference; the art or profession of the conveyancer. ... 3. Fraudulent transfer of property, swindling."
I'm afraid I'm going to need a scope note
(C) 150 Domestic space in literature [Not Subd Geog]
