LCSH Week 24: Kittehs in the LC!

Library of Congress Subject Headings Weekly List 24 (June 17, 2009)

150 Broken homes [May Subd Geog] [sp 85017031]
* 550 BT Divorce CANCEL
* 550 BT Family CANCEL
* 550 RT Divorce
I like this change from broader term to related term, indicating that home can be broken, even if it's not part of a state sanctioned family (i.e. two parents married to each other).

(A) 150 Chausie cat [May Subd Geog] [sp2009005758]
053 SF449.C47
550 BT Cat breeds
You know me, any opportunity for kitteh pr0n:

(C) 150 Chores [May Subd Geog] [sp2009005868]
550 BT Work
Talk about so overdue it's no longer necessary!

150 Dalai lamas [sp 85035505]
* 053 BQ7930 CANCEL
* 053 BQ7930 BQ7935
* 550 BT Priests, Buddhist CANCEL
This isn't a new heading, but since it was listed (because of the changes), let me just say that DALAI LAMAS are even funnier when plural.

Let me just tell you that it was a very FAMILIES oriented week at the Library of Congress. Lots of new (actually rearranged) headings for FAMILY and FAMILIES things. They took a good hard look at what should be singular vs. plural and whether or not COMPUTERS AND (and other things) should come first or second.

150 Fish culturists [May Subd Geog] [sp 85048626]
* 450 UF Farmers, Fish
* 450 UF Fish breeders
* 450 UF Fish farmers

* 550 BT Animal specialists CANCEL
Included here, just because it sounds funny.

550 BT Theaters—New York (State)
Been there! Done it there! Maybe that's TMI, but let's just say I spent a lot of time at the old Shake Fest. So let me be one of the first to say, "Welcome to the Library of Congress, PUBLIC THEATER!" My old and new worlds collide, almost as well as when I left the Public Theater and my favorite stage managers gave me this "Public Theater vs. public library" list to help me keep things straight. Stuff like "facts of file vs. fax on filing cabinet." I'll have to upload it one of these days. Thanks again James Latus and Buzz Cohen!

(A) 150 Safari cat [May Subd Geog] [sp2009005779]
053 SF449.S24
550 BT Cat breeds
I didn't easily find a Creative Commons image for this one, but since this group seems kind of shady, I feel less guilty about putting their image on my site without express permission. Ask for a c & d, and I will comply.
