Highlights from the June 2016 SACO editorial meeting and LCSH monthly list.
SACO, emphases theirs
Baby hatches
The work being cataloged appears to be about a pastor who accepts infants who are left in a baby hatch outside his church, and it not about baby hatches. The proposal was not necessary.
I did not know this was a thing. Also, I feel frustrated when a proposal like this is made, and it's likely to be a useful heading, it's rejected because it's appropriate heading for the work described.

Paranormal fiction, Cuban
The citation for the work being cataloged included an English translation of the Spanish title, but not any support for the nationality of the paranormal fiction. The proposal may be resubmitted.
This is another case where I feel like the heading should be established, even if the proposal sucked. Even if the proposal was never made. Once "Paranormal fiction, country" is established, isn't it a no-brainer that you should be able to apply it to any nation?

I proposed such a heading in March 2014 and wrote about it again in March 2016. Whatever. I'm glad it happened.

550 BT Music
680 Here are entered works on the portrayal of girls in musical compositions.
Interesting—so girls who play music would be, per the pattern with Women in music and Women musicians—Girl musicians. I don't love the construction, where girls are objects rather than subjects, but I guess I don't know how it could be said better.

Juggalos are kind of an in-joke with my friend Celia and me from when we went on zine tour in 2011 and got an earful about them at the Cyberpunk Apocalypse house in Pittsburgh.
