Today instead of picking apart the Library of Congress Subject Headings Weekly List, I'm going through Sandy Berman's personal scorecard, an older version of which can be found on his website. I am using a version dated April 15, 2008. Stay tuned for an html version on the Radical Reference site, where there will also be info on a coordinated day of submitting subject heading recommendations to LC, on April 27, 2008.
Large breasted women of the world--you now have your own subject heading, thanks to Sandy Berman who wrote to LC after seeing my complaint about BREAST--SOCIAL ASPECTS as an inadequate term for cataloging a zine about a woman with large breasts.
It's now been three weeks since the Progressive Library Skillshare in Pittsburgh, so my report back will not do justice to the event, I'm afraid. I'm just going to list the highlights, since too much time has passed for me to produce a thoughtful narrative.
Progressive Library Skillshare, Pittsburgh
This is about activism in your library and in your life, focusing on Radical Reference and the Barnard Library Zine Collection and hoping that session participants will feel empowered to develop projects and collections in their libraries and lives.
Progressive Library Skillshare
September 7 & 8, 2007 - Pittsburgh, PA
completely FREE and open to everyone
I got the print brochure for this collection in the mail from a friend and was glad to see that it's online, as well. It's the Transgender Resource Collection from the Oak Park Public Library in Illinois.
