Best regards, Christopher Smith SACO Coordinator Christopher Smith Catalog Librarian Beinecke Library chris.smith at yale.edu From: SACO Cataloging Discussion List On Behalf Of Cataloging Policy and Standards Sent: Friday, May 13, 2022 11:44 AM To: SACOLIST at LISTSERV.LOC.GOV Subject: [SACOLIST] Summary of Decisions, Editorial meeting 3, March 18, 2022--revised This summary is being re-issued to correct the Announcement re: [Topic] in comics and --In comics free-floating subdivision. ACQUISITIONS AND BIBLIOGRAPHIC ACCESS DIRECTORATE POLICY, TRAINING, AND COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS DIVISION SUMMARY OF DECISIONS, EDITORIAL MEETING NUMBER 3 March 18, 2022 This Summary of Decisions will be posted on LC?s website and may be accessed at http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/saco/cpsoed/cpsoeditorial.html. CLASSIFICATION Changes were made as indicated on the approved list. BL915.L84 The related subject proposal was not necessary, as the name of an individual deity should be established in the name authority file. When the name authority record exists, the proposal may be resubmitted. G156.5.S63 In accordance with the decision on the related subject proposal for Social tourism, the proposal may be resubmitted. GV543.2 The work being cataloged is about how to do indoor rowing. Works on this topic are already classified under GV543, and the meeting sees no reason to change the existing practice. A proposal was added to the list to add the note ?Including indoor rowing? to the existing number GV543. The proposal was not approved. ML1751.A27-.A279 The proposal placed the entire continent of Africa in a Cutter number range for countries. While this is workable, it seemed better to place Africa on the same level with the other continents. A replacement proposal was made for this topic at ML1750 on this list. The proposal was not approved. N3545.F53 The proposal was for the gallery Fiberspace (Gallery : Stockholm, Sweden). The focus of this gallery is fiber art and design, which means that the gallery should class at TT6.S82 S764, for which no proposal is necessary. The proposal was not approved. PL6621.S62 The proposal was for the Skou language. Based on information in the bibliographic record, the work being cataloged is primarily about the Skou people and secondarily about the language. The work should class at DU744.35.S56. The proposal was not necessary. PQ4676.A376 The name authority record for the author does not exist, which is a necessary prerequisite. The proposal may be resubmitted. PQ7296.C662 The work being cataloged is anonymous. It should class in PQ7296.A1C66. The proposal may be resubmitted. PR739.R325 The proposal was for race as a special topic in English drama of the 20th century. The bibliographic record gives no indication of race as a topic of this work in the subject headings. The first subject heading is for Phillips, Caryl?Criticism and interpretation, which should class with the author at PR9275.S263 P+. If race is a primary topic of the work being cataloged, then appropriate subject headings should be added. The proposal may be resubmitted. TL215.T64 The proposal is for makes of automobiles. However, the work being cataloged is for a history of the Toyota Company in the Philippines, not about the automobiles themselves, and should be classed in HD9710.P42. The proposal was not necessary. SUBJECT HEADINGS Subdivisions to be added to lists of free-floating subdivisions: H 1095, Free-Floating Subdivisions $x In comics Announcements: Announcement re: "primitive" in art and architecture headings The 2203 list included a project to remove the term primitive from all art and architecture headings. Northwestern University proposed the project and worked closely with PTCP to make the changes. The changed headings are all grouped together in the Approved Subject Headings list for March. Northwestern University has also tackled the challenge of proposing changes to the use of primitive in Library of Congress Classification captions, etc., which will follow at a later time. The Library thanks Northwestern University for their work. Announcement re: Slaves to Enslaved persons The approved change of Slaves to Enslaved persons will be issued in a separate list due to the large number of headings involved in the change. The proposal that was included on the List 2203 will be withdrawn, and then placed on the separate list with all the headings impacted as soon as is practicable. Announcement re: Urban [demographic group] headings A group of proposals on the List 2203 addressed the established pattern of [Ethnic group]--Urban residence, with a broader term of Urbanization. The University of Alberta recognized that this pattern was not consistent with a parallel pattern of Urban [demographic group] headings that also existed, each of those with the broader term City dwellers--[Place]. The university made proposals to bring these headings into alignment with the Urban [demographic group] pattern, which means that these changed headings are now class of persons headings and are therefore eligible to have all free-floating subdivisions for Classes of Persons (H 1100). The Library of Congress thanks the University of Alberta for their work. Announcement re: [Topic] in comics and --In comics free-floating subdivision San Diego State University made a proposal to establish the heading Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in comics. This proposal establishes a new pattern to address the study of a topic within comic books and graphic novels, following the existing pattern of topics in literature and art. This heading and the resulting pattern were approved on List 2203. As a result of this decision, the Library also decided to extend the ability to bring out topics in comics and graphic novels in historical and critical works by establishing the free-floating subdivision $x In comics. The subdivision may be used under names of individual persons, families, corporate bodies, and countries, cities etc., Christian denominations and uniform titles of sacred works, and under names of deities, mythological or legendary figures, and fictitious characters. All uses under wars will need to be established editorially, e.g., World War, 1939-1945?Comics and the war. The instruction sheet H 1430 for Comics and Comic Characters and related pattern instruction sheets will be updated to reflect this change in practice. At approximately the same time, the ALA Graphic Novel and Comics Round Table, in cooperation with the ALA Subject Access Committee, made a revision proposal to H 1430 to allow for increased subject access to comics and graphic novels by adding a Special Provisions section, as is done in H 1790 for fiction. This instruction sheet revision is in process, and the updated instruction sheet will include the use of [Topic] in comics, --In comics subdivision, and the special provisions for increased subject access. The finalized version will be announced and posted on the website as well as published in Cataloger?s Desktop. The Library thanks the GNCRT for their work in moving this forward. Other decisions: Albanian language?Spoken Albanian; Dutch language?Spoken Dutch; Kannada language?Spoken Kannada; Kazakh language?Spoken Kazakh; Sinhalese language?Spoken Sinhalese; Vietnamese language?Spoken Vietnamese These six proposals all attempted to create an authorized heading for the spoken form of a language. At this time, the multiple subdivision that free-floats under languages still exists (H 1154). The instructions regarding the multiples project are unchanged. These proposals were not necessary. Alpokalja (Hungary) Only the Hungarian-language title of the work being cataloged was provided to support this proposal. The instruction sheet H 202 requires information in English that explains the relationship of the work to the heading being proposed. The proposal may be resubmitted Austral language The instruction sheet H 202 requires that the first citation be for the work being cataloged, with information to justify the proposal. Only proposals that support a reference hierarchy do not require this. Since no related proposals were found to justify the need for this proposal, there is no reason for it. The proposal may be resubmitted with the appropriate support. Guarita Fazenda (Brazil) The Summary of Decision of September 2021 stated, The broader term that was chosen is not supported in the source citations. Fazenda has several translations, only one of which is hacienda. Information that is added to the proposal to support the choice of BT should be in English. The proposal may be resubmitted. No information was given that satisfied the requirement stated. The proposal may be resubmitted. Historical poetry, Chinese The subject heading Historical poetry is for poetry that is on historical topics. The citation given indicates that this is poetry from the Northern and Southern Song dynasties, which does not make it clear whether this is poetry written in a historical time period and/or if it is written on historical topics. The meeting was unclear if this was the appropriate subject heading or if it required Chinese poetry?Song dynasty, 960-1279. The proposal may be resubmitted. Kem?ny family The instruction sheet H 202 requires that information that comes from the work being cataloged is in the citation for that work. The proposal may be resubmitted. Kings Dominion (Richmond, Va.) The instruction sheet H 202 requires that information to support the broader term(s) is included in the citations. The proposal may be resubmitted. Lugh (Celtic deity) Lugh is a Celtic deity, and H 405 states that Gods (Individual) are established in the name authority file. The proposal was not approved. Magdalena (Colombia)?Description and travel The subdivision ?Description and travel is free-floating under H 1140 Names of Places. The proposal was not necessary. Occupancy (International law) The proposal included a related term reference to the new heading Doctrine of discovery (International law). Both of these terms have the same broader term of International law. According to H 370 sec. 2, two headings that share the same broader term at any level of the hierarchy cannot have related term references. The proposal was not approved. Paralaudakia caucasia The instruction sheet H 1332 states ?Whenever necessary, establish the name of the next broader level in order to make the broader term reference.? The genus Paralaudakia is necessary for the hierarchy of Paralaudakia caucasia. The proposal may be resubmitted with the accompanying genus proposal. Poets, Chinese?Ming dynasty, 1368-1644 Only the Chinese-language title of the work being cataloged was provided to support this proposal. The instruction sheet H 202 requires information in English that explains the relationship of the work to the heading being proposed. The proposal may be resubmitted Public toilets?Law and legislation The scope note for Restrooms states ?Here are entered works on rooms in office buildings, stores, restaurants, etc., equipped with toilets and washbasins for use by employees, customers, or visitors.? The scope note for Public toilets states ?Here are entered works on freestanding buildings or stalls designed to provide toilets and washbasins for use by the general public.? The citation from the work being cataloged uses the term ?Public restrooms.? Research by the meeting indicates that the appropriate heading might be Restrooms?Law and legislation. More information from the work being cataloged is needed to clarify the question. The proposal may be resubmitted. Social tourism Despite the citations given, the meeting did not have enough information to decide if this proposal was appropriate or if the work needed the heading Tourism?Social aspects. The related classification proposal does not attempt to separate the two concepts. More information is needed to clarify if these two headings should be separate or if the existing heading is sufficient. The proposal may be resubmitted. GENRE/FORM TERMS Martial arts comics The instruction sheet J 160 states very clearly ?It is not acceptable to cite only the resource being cataloged for a new genre/form term.? This proposal included only a citation from the work being cataloged. The proposal may be resubmitted. MEDIUM OF PERFORMANCE TERMS Changes were made as indicated on the approved list.

In this talk, Dr. Littletree will discuss a conceptual framework that centers on the concept of relationality, a framework that can be used to understand Indigenous systems of knowledge in the LIS context. Littletree's work contributes to the body of research that documents what Indigenous librarians, archivists, and technologists are doing to make spaces for Indigenous perspectives at the practical, conceptual, and theoretical levels. Understanding Indigenous systems of knowledge as an intellectual construct may inform better practices for knowledge organization for Indigenous cultural heritage. Registration for DCMI webinars is free with the discount code "DCMI25". About the presenter: Sandy Littletree is an Assistant Teaching Professor at the University of Washington's Information School.
