LCSH Week 47: LC welcomes Islamic sects and Yoda

Sun, 12/13/2009 - 9:32pm by jenna

At first I was very excited to know about the SACO Summary of Decisions from the Weekly Editorial Meeting postings (Thanks, Bill), but now I'm irritated that they don't keep up with the Weekly Headings lists. The week 48 listings have been posted, but the rationale is at least two weeks behind. Do I let my commentary lag as well, or not? I say not, so…

This week 47, November 25, 2009 on LCSH Watch:

American Dream—Religious aspects
Brooklyn Queens Expressway (New York, N.Y.)
Cappuccino
Cookery (Espresso)
Espresso
Islamic sects
Latte art

Punk rock music—Philosophy and aesthetics
Yoda (Fictitious character : Lucas)

LCSH Watch: a visual approach

Tricia Burmeister has illustrated some of her favorite Library of Congress Subject Headings from the September and October 2009 Weekly Lists.

I particularly like the photo she chose for Weapons of mass destruction in art [Not Subd Geog] [sp2009007321]

of bears and femmes

Dear Gay Cataloging Mafia and other concerned parties:

The Lezbrian Yahoo! group is a talkin' about subject headings. Brenda J. Marston wonders why if "Bears (Gay culture)" has been adopted as a Library of Congress Subject Heading, why not "Butch," "Femme (Lesbian culture)," and "Butch and femme." Me, too!

I might argue for "Femme (Queer culture)" though, since the femmes whose zines I catalog use Queer almost exclusively over Lesbian. Brenda tells me that Cornell has a 653 for "Butch and femme (Sexual orientation)."
