LCSH Week 11
In which the Library of Congress welcomes FLIGHT ATTENDANTS IN LITERATURE, WIZARD ROCK MUSIC, and other fine new headings.
150 American Revolution Bicentennial, 1976 [May Subd Geog] [sp 85004412]
* 551 BT United States—Centennial celebrations, etc.
* 551 BT United States—History—Revolution, 1775 1783—Centennial celebrations, etc. CANCEL
I think they made the right call, even if too late to accessibly describe the Spirit of '76 bicycle I was stylin' on back then.

Y'all know I can't resist a healthy list of cross-references, and this has the added attraction repulsion of having a UF for DIRTY DIAPER (PLANT), which I understand is for the smell, not the appearance.

Do I see SURVIVORS and VICTIMS listed separately? But I guess in the eyes of LC if you're dead, you're a victim, and if you're alive you're a survivor. Is that right? And there's only one Holocaust? Not even according to LC, which uses this heading HOLOCAUST, JEWISH (1939-1945) to describe the extermination of six million Jews and...an equal or greater number of other people, as well.

First, the Library of Congress, next Pandora, I hope! Wouldn't it be funny if Pandora was using LCSH as a gauge of popularity or legitimacy and didn't add bands or categories until they were recognized by LC? I wonder if the cataloger who suggested this did so after attending a rousing Harry and the Potters show?
