>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.
>
>The genre/form headings will be based chiefly on the concepts 
>represented in the Radio Form/Genre Terms Guide (RADFG), which is 
>available at http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/frmgen.html.  Existing 
>form headings in the area of radio programming from LCSH (currently 
>coded with MARC authority field 150) will also be considered for inclusion.
>
>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 (http://authorities.loc.gov). 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:
>
>Audience participation radio programs (sh2007025534)
>Christmas radio programs (sh2007025570)
>Horror radio programs (sh2007025535)
>Radio adaptations (sh2007025531)
>Western radio programs (sh2007025532)
>
>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.
>
>Please direct any comments or questions about the genre/form 
>projects to Janis Young at jayo at loc.gov.
