Library of Congress Changed Subject Heading Subdivisions
Sept. 1 there will be a new edition of the Library of Congress Changed Subject Heading Subdivisions.
Each August I review the previous years' changes from Library of Congress's "Weekly List" of new headings and cross-check them with their annual "Free-Floating Subdivisions". Questionable entries are referred to the Library of Congress Cataloging Distribution Service for resolution. Changes are then added to my master file, which is then totally cumulated. Official publication date of each year's new edition is September 1.Joyce T. Ogden, the author, sent me a very nice note asking that I announce the newest version of her work.
