<i>SHM </i>H 365, sec. 1, remind catalogers that classification numbers are added when the caption for the number is identical or nearly identical in scope, meaning, and language to the subject heading. If the classification number is narrower in scope (e.g.,
political, social, environmental, etc. aspects of the heading), it is not appropriate to add the class number to the heading.

as needed for new cataloging based on information from the work being cataloged. This is the principle of “literary warrant.”
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> The meeting would like to remind catalogers</span><span lang="EN-CA"> that a work cat. citation is required for new concepts (<i>SHM</i> H 203, sec. 1). Proposals that are made to revise
a heading, add references, etc., should provide source citations, which include a citation to the work being</span> cataloged

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow"> The conventional and variant forms can still be displayed by taking an additional step. On the search screen under “Custom Search Criteria” there is a box labeled

that there should be two headings instead. No change is necessary for the heading
<b>Benji (Dog)</b>. A new proposal may be submitted for Higgins (Dog). The proposal was not approved.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"> The proposal was made to add</span> UFs<span lang="EN-CA"> for Catholic priests and Roman Catholic priests onto the heading.
</span>The SA note under<b> Priests</b> says to use the subdivision <b>--Clergy </b>
under individual Christian denominations. The meeting does not wish to begin the practice of adding UFs such as those proposed. The proposal was not approved.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i> Chinatowns--United States; Little Italies--United States<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> </i>The proposed headings are topic--geographic combinations that do not need authority records. There are Chinese American and Italian American neighborhoods that have never been, and never will be, called Chinatowns
or Little Italies, so the corresponding UFs being proposed are not appropriate. UFs that begin "Ethnic neighborhoods" are not appropriate since
<b>Ethnic neighborhoods</b> is the BT of <b>Chinatowns</b> and <b>Little Italies</b>. The proposed UFs that contain the subdivisions "United States (Chinese American)" and "United States (Italian American)" are in $z, but are not valid geographic subdivisions.
Finally, the 053s given are for Chinese and Italians as ethnic groups in the U.S., not Chinatowns and Little Italies. The proposals were not approved.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <i>Computer games--Modification; Video games--Modification</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Modifications for computer games are not physical modifications, whereas the pattern cited,
<b>Tools--Modification,</b> is physical alteration of the tools. Modification of computer games is covered by the existing heading
<b>Computer games--Programming</b> because the modifications are made to the programming. The proposal was not approved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> A proposal to accompany the subject proposal Computer games--Modification was submitted for the classification number GV1469.17.M63. These proposals became separated in the editorial process and did not appear on
the same list. However, since the subject proposal was not approved, the classification proposal was also not approved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <i>Eighteen seventies<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> SHM</i> H 620, sec. 2.c, states that general headings for chronological periods are assigned only to general works on those periods not limited to specific topics. None of the works cited on the proposal appear
to meet that criterion. The proposal was not approved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <i>Fort Siloso (Singapore)</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> This fort was active during World War II. According to
<i>SHM </i>H 405, if a military installation is active after 1899, the heading should be established in the name authority file. The proposal was not approved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <i>Harpsichord <o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> </i>The UFs being added represent a different instrument. A separate proposal may be submitted for Lute harpsichord. The proposal was not approved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <i>Jordan River Valley</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The addition of a UF in Italian is not appropriate for this heading. The proposal was not approved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <i><span style="color:black">Novokuĭbyshevsk (Russia)<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color:black"> </span>
</i><span style="color:black">According to the citation from GeoNames in the proposal, Novokuĭbyshevsk (Russia) is a populated place. Therefore, the heading should be established in the name authority file. The proposal was not approved.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <i>One-person shows (Performing arts)<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color:black"> SHM </span>
</i><span style="color:black">H 400, Background, states that scope notes serve to limit the scope of a heading, thereby helping readers to determine to what extent it covers the materials that they seek, and it allows catalogers to maintain consistency in the
way headings are assigned. For this reason, </span>a “laundry list” of attributes or examples that may or may not be exhaustive is seldom (if ever) a good idea. Additionally, the meeting does not believe that there is any confusion over the meaning of the
heading without a<i> </i>scope note. The proposal was not approved. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <i>Qiandao Lake (China)<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> </i>Geonet was not cited completely. There are two Qiandao Hu in ADM1 Zhejiang, and both have variants that should be added to the proposal. The proposal may be resubmitted.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <i>Quanzhou Harbor (China)<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> </i>Geonet is given as a “Source not found” in a 675, but this harbor is actually in Geonet. The harbor is called Quanzhou Wan, and there are several variants. The changes to the Geonet search interface may have
been the problem, so guidance for searching Geonet is given above in the <i>Announcements</i> section. The proposal may be resubmitted.

<p class="MsoNormal"> <i>Student strike, Québec, 2012 <o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> </i>The Background statement of <i>
SHM </i>H 1592 states that most events are not referred to by specific names. For such events, headings such as
<b>Student strikes--[place] </b>are used instead. The meeting could not find that this strike has been specifically named. The heading and most of the UFs appear to be descriptive phrases, not alternate names. The heading
<b>Student strikes--Québec (Province)--Québec</b> should be used instead. The proposal was not approved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> Student strike, Québec, 2012, in mass media<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> </i>The work being cataloged is about news coverage of the strike, not the depiction of the strike in mass media, including films, television, novels, comic books, news, etc. Therefore, the proposed heading is
not appropriate for the work. <b>Student strikes--Press coverage--Québec (Province)--Québec
</b>should be used instead. The proposal was not approved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <i>Thiem family <o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> </i>According to the <i>Dictionary of American family names</i> (Hanks, 2003), Thiem, Diehm, and Teem should be variants on the existing heading
<b>Diem family. </b>The variants will be added to the existing heading. The proposal was not approved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <i>World War, 1939-1945--Participation, Georgian<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> SHM </i>H 1200, Special provisions, sec. 2, states that
<b>--Participation, [nationality]</b> subdivisions cannot be used under the headings for the world wars. The heading
<b>World War, 1939-1945--Georgia </b>should be used instead. The proposal was not approved.<o:p></o:p></p>
