Subject: [Classweb-users] Genre/form headings for moving image 
materials now available in Class Web

Classification Web users:

Genre/form heading authority records that have been created at the 
Library of Congress for motion pictures, television programs and 
videos (MARC 21 tag 155) are now available for searching and display 
in Classification Web.  The initial database contains only a small 
number of headings that were approved at the Cataloging Policy and 
Support Office weekly editorial meeting on September 5, 2007.  New 
records will be added weekly, as they are approved and 
distributed.  The search screen for these records is accessible by 
clicking the new "Genre/Form Headings" link on the Class Web Main 
Menu screen.  Searches that are initiated from the "LC Subject 
Headings" link on the Main Menu will not retrieve genre/form 
headings, and searches that are initiated from the "Genre/Form 
Headings" link will not retrieve topical headings tagged 150.

Full details about the Library of Congress project to create and 
apply genre/form authority records in the field of motion pictures, 
television programs and videos are available on the Library's 
Cataloging and Acquisitions Web site at
