Parks and Forests
LC is seeking coments on Government-Designated Parks and Forests, Proposed Change in Policy.
The Cataloging Policy and Support Office is considering changing the current practice so that headings of this type that are established in the subject authority file would be usable only as subject headings and would represent only the physical, geographic entities.
