FYI. I'm hoping policies & procedures for applying form/genre subject
headings will be discussed at this month's CCC meeting.<br><br>
The LC guidelines are at:<br>

<font face="Century Schoolbook, New Century Schoolbook">With the loading
of this week's authority subjects distribution file from the Library of
Congress, you can now search or browse for Genre authority records (x55
tags) via the Connexion client (2.0) or browser. The x55 tagged
authority records are also indexed in the LCSH index. An
example of a newly added Genre authority record is sh2007025004 (ARN
7519072), Fiction films.<br>
</font> <br>
<font face="Century Schoolbook, New Century Schoolbook">Although the
Genre index labels are not present in the authority searching or browsing
dropdown lists in Client 1.7x, the genre indexes can be accessed via the
command line. The index label for the genre index is 'ge'. An
example of a search from the command line is: ge: films ; and an
example of a browse is sca ge: films. <br>
</font> <br>
<font face="Century Schoolbook, New Century Schoolbook">Please note: At
this time, SACO participants still have to wait to propose new
headings.<br>
</font> <br>
<font face="Century Schoolbook, New Century Schoolbook">Currently,
headings tagged as 655, second indicator 0 are *not* candidates for
controlling. Changes to enable the controlling of genre headings
will be part of a future Connexion enhancement.<br>
