This is a shout out to lcsh.info, a site that I heart very much.

I use their search when cataloging zines to find appropriate subject headings.

Library of Congress Subject Headings Weekly List 47 (November 19, 2008)

In which LC welcomes FEMALE FETICIDE and UNCIRCUMCISED MEN and ends the INTIFIDA, 1987-1993 while soft-pedaling its CAFFEINE HABIT. ...

I recommend a change in Library of Congress Subject Headings from -VICTIMS to -SURVIVORS. Affected subject headings for materials I've cataloged for the Barnard Library Zine Collection include:
ADULT CHILD ABUSE VICTIMS
RAPE VICTIMS
SEXUAL ABUSE VICTIMS

APHA-New York presents:

StateStats "shows you how popular a Google search query is in each U.S. state."

The first thing I tried was [zines], which appropriately showed Oregon as having the most searches on that term, followed distantly by Washington, with New York in third with just under half as many searches.

If you must involve yourself with holiday related consumption, consume this: Tales for Little Rebels: A Collection of Radical Children's Literature.
