(C) 150 Airplanes—Restrooms [May Subd Geog] [sp2008005456]
550 BT Restrooms
What, no Mile high club cross reference? If you're hoping for something juicy among the warrants, you'll be disappointed, as I was, e.g. "Spatial consumption and risk of lower back disorder during assisted toilet transfers on board an aircraft." If that does sound juicy to you, download the 13Mb pdf. But you know what? I do appreciate the cataloger petitioning for a new heading for the College's new graduate's intellectual output.
(C) 150 Blaming the victim [May Subd Geog] [sp2009007420]
680 Here are entered works on the attitude that holds victims of crimes, accidents, etc., to be wholly or partially responsible for their own misfortune.
450 UF Victim blaming
550 BT Blame
550 BT Victims
Warrant: "Rape myth acceptance and rape reporting among incarcerated women," which I think was a poster session. Why then won't LC establish any Fat power type headings when they themselves have a book in their catalog called The Fat Studies Reader? I bet the authors love the subject headings currently assigned: Obesity—Social aspects and Overweight persons!
(C) 150 Human multitasking [May Subd Geog] [sp2009008394]
450 UF Human multi tasking
450 UF Multi tasking, Human
450 UF Multitasking, Human
550 BT Time management
I wonder why Human is required. I think animals are too smart to multitask, but then most of my animal exposure is to cats, who really can't be bothered. This just in—I checked the authority record, and it indicated that Computer multitasking is the default. Way to go, LC, white Christian heterosexual men and no longer the default, computers are! (Okay, that's unfair. The SH for computers is Multitasking (Computer Science).
(C) 150 Minorities in baseball [May Subd Geog] [sp2008003933]
550 BT Baseball
This is one of those times where the term Minorities seems especially problematic. Unless they're talking about white guys. It's better than directly describing people by what they're not, e.g. Non-white baseball players or for Sexual minorities, Non-heterosexuals, but the descriptor is still generally about the other's relationship to larger group. I don't have an answer for this. Do you?
150 Rape—Psychological aspects [sp2009008683]
450 UF Rape myths
150 Rape--Public opinion [sp2009008507]

450 UF Blue collar women
450 UF Female blue collar workers
