Highlights from the August 2016 SACO editorial meeting and LCSH monthly list.
SACO, emphases theirs
I'll give them a pass this month, even if a lot of their rejections were petty in ways that I've documented previously.
LCSH, emphases mine
150 Art manifestos [May Subd Geog] [sp2016001208](A)
450 UF Artistic manifestos
450 UF Manifestoes, Art
450 UF Manifestos, Art
550 BT Artists' writings
I love the cross-reference from the alternative spelling. I wonder why it's only employed in the inverse structure.
150 Black lives matter movement [May Subd Geog] [sp2016001442]
450 UF Blacklivesmatter movement
550 BT Social movements
Yes! Now Black lives officially matter to Congress. We should hold them to that.

The heading is from 2014, so which UF(s) are new? Regardless, this subdivision will be useful to me. I've already employed dozens of times it to describe zine fests.
150 Cryptogams--Ecology [sp2016001974]
No warrant listed. What's up with that? Narrower term: Crust vegetation. Note that it's Cryptog a m. Not Cryptog r a m.
150 Disabilities in literature [Not Subd Geog] [sp2016000926](A)
Yes please. PS: Disability in KidLit (which is middle grade & YA lit, rather than strictly juvenile)
150 Makerspaces in libraries [May Subd Geog] [sp2016001293](A)
053 Z716.37
550 BT Libraries

550 BT Law enforcement
550 BT Police patrol--Field interrogation
LC adopts this heading the same week they adopt the Black lives matter movement. Coincidence? I love the euphemistic UFs like "Investigatory stop.)
DEMOGRAPHIC GROUP TERMS
155 Ampelographies [gp2016026072](C)
555 BT Reference works
There's a 952 in the authority record that says "This term is crucial to the field of viticulture. Just as there is the discipline of bibliography and there are bibliographies, there is the scientific identification of grape vines and the reference work listing them--the ampelography." LC also says that the 952 field is obsolete, as of 1997, so I don't know what's up. LC's linked data site is down, so I can't hunt for more info there. Whatevs. Now I know what an ampelography is, and that viticulture would be lost without it.
