LCSH Subdivisions for Cartographic Materials
Changes in map cataloging from LC.
On June 10, 2009 the Policy and Standards Division (PSD) of the Library of Congress requested input from the library community about its proposal to change the structure of LCSH subdivisions for many cartographic materials. In brief, the paper suggested simplifying form subdivisions used for cartographic materials by removing the adjective (e.g. -Maps, Comparative would be revised to -Maps). The new genre/form headings would then do the ?heavy lifting? of identifying a particular genre or form of material. After reviewing all of the comments it received, PSD has decided to implement its proposal to simplify the subdivisions.The full text of the decision, which includes PSD?s responses to several concerns raised by the correspondents, is available on LC?s web site.
