Library of Congress Subject Headings Weekly List 15 (April 15, 2009)
In a letter to the Cataloging Policy & Support Office dated April 30, 2009, Sandy Berman recommended that the following headings be added to the record for The Lorax:
ECO-POETRY
INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION--POETRY
GREED--POETRY
GROWTH (ECONOMICS)--POETRY
ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION--POETRY
UNNECESSARY THINGS--POETRY
Dear Library of Congress Subject Authorities,
Can you suggest a subject heading for "The Cute Issue" of Ladyfriend zine? I was thinking CUTENESS or CUTE THINGS, but I don't see either of those in the authority file, or references to any heading that would be useful in describing a monograph about cute things.
Dear Library of Congress Subject Authorities,
I would really like a subject heading for FOUND POETRY. I bet you can figure out cross references to poetry and found objects and the like, right? The zine that prompts this request, is Word Math. But you have some books in your collection that might enjoy being so described, too:
Dancing on the pedals : the found poetry of Phil Liggett, the voice of cycling [edited by] Doug Donaldson
Foundlings : uncollected found poetry by John Robert Colombo
Library of Congress Subject Headings Weekly List 14 (April 8, 2009)
The Library of Congress, thanks to Muppet Wiki, welcomes MISS PIGGY, also BEARS AS PETS (not referring to Fozzie Bear, thank you very much), and what seem to be inconsistent headings for people who lived in countries before Europeans found them.
