LCSH & SACO Month 9: In which LC stakes out Cake pops, Linked data and Police lineups

Highlights from the September 2013 SACO editorial meeting and LCSH monthly list.

SACO

emphases theirs

BM538.T73

Traffic regulations are not a usual topic of theological discourse. The translated subtitle of the work being cataloged is: "law of preserving life on the road: legal discussion, legal decision, facts and teachings, responsa from leading scholars and legal deciders." For those reasons, the meeting feels that the work being cataloged should probably class in KBM3448. The proposal was not approved.

"Traffic regulations are not a usual topic of theological discourse." sounds like something you'd read on Get Out of There Cat. Maybe I need to start a Get Out of There LCSH Tumblr.

Dialogic teaching

Educators sometimes dress up old concepts with new vocabulary and call them pedagogical innovations. However, "dialogic teaching" is an "inquiry-based" method of education, which is a broadened, holistic, and interactive approach to the traditional question-and-answer format of teaching. The meeting has determined that the concept of "dialogic teaching" is covered by the existing heading Inquiry-based learning, and the work being cataloged should class in LB1576. The proposal was not approved.

I rather love this rejection because of that first sentence.

Zanzibaris

Zanzibar is an island in Tanzania; therefore, Zanzibari is not a nationality. Additionally, the term Zanzibaris does not represent an ethnic group; it is merely a name for all of the people who live on Zanzibar. The proposal was not approved.

Hawaiians is a subject heading. The term seems to refer to indigenous Hawaiians, and one of the BTs has the word "ethnology" in it, but this distinction still seems a little US-centric to me.
