As the next step in the development of genre/form headings at the Library
of Congress, the Cataloging Policy and Support Office (CPSO) would like
to announce the beginning of a project to add genre/form headings for
radio programs to the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH).
These headings will join those already being established for moving
images.<br><br>
The genre/form headings will be based chiefly on the concepts represented
in the Radio Form/Genre Terms Guide (RADFG), which is available at
<a href="http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/frmgen.html. " eudora="autourl">
http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/frmgen.html. </a> Existing form headings in
the area of radio programming from LCSH (currently coded with MARC
authority field 150) will also be considered for inclusion. <br><br>
Catalogers in the Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound
Division, in cooperation with CPSO, have begun to create
"proposed" authority records to aid in discussions related to
the development of these genre/form headings. Although these
records are not yet approved, they may be consulted in the Library of
Congress authorities database
(<a href="http://authorities.loc.gov" eudora="autourl">
http://authorities.loc.gov</a>). As with other proposed subject
headings, these sample records may not reflect the final forms, reference
structures, et cetera, but are provided to assist in the development
process:<br><br>
Audience participation radio programs (sh2007025534)<br>
Christmas radio programs (sh2007025570)<br>
Horror radio programs (sh2007025535)<br>
Radio adaptations (sh2007025531)<br>
Western radio programs (sh2007025532)<br><br>
A draft instruction sheet detailing the creation and application of these
headings is also being written for inclusion in the Subject Cataloging
Manual: Subject Headings and will be posted on CPSO's web site for public
comment. An alert will be sent to various discussion lists when
that occurs.<br><br>
Please direct any comments or questions about the genre/form projects to
Janis Young at jayo@loc.gov.<br><br>
