September 22, 2010

PSD policy specialist responsible for this weekly list: P. Weiss

Classification

DS319

It is not clear that the election protests of 2009 were a significant enough event in the history of Iran to warrant establishing a specific classification number for them. The meeting recommends that the item being cataloged be classed in the existing number DS318.9. The proposal was not approved.

Subject Headings

Subdivisions to be added to lists of free-floating subdivisions:

H 1100, Classes pers

$x Vocational education (May Subd Geog)

H 1103, Ethnic groups

$x Vocational education (May Subd Geog)

Other decisions:

Boleros (Music)--History and criticism

Since --History and criticism is free-floating under music form headings, this proposal is not necessary.

Fathers and children in literature

The base heading for this topic is Father and child. The heading Father and child in literature has already been established. The UF Fathers and children will be added to the heading Father and child. The proposal was not approved.

Knee family

A heading for this family has already been established in the form Nee family. The UF Knee family will be added to that heading. The proposal was not approved.

Peace-building, Ivoirian

This heading would refer to peace-building activities conducted by Côte d'Ivoire in other countries, and is not the appropriate heading for the item being cataloged. The proposal was not approved.

Rain in art

The base heading for this topic is Rain and rainfall. The heading Rain and rainfall in art has already been established. The UF Rain will be added to the heading Rain and rainfall. The proposal was not approved.

Richmond Theater Fire, Richmond, Va., 1811

Headings for fires in individual buildings are formulated using the free-floating subidivision --Fire, [date] under the heading for the building. A heading for the Richmond Theater had erroneously been established as a name heading and has been cancelled. The heading Richmond Theater (Richmond, Va.) is being re-established as a subject heading on this list. The appropriate heading for the fire is Richmond Theater (Richmond, Va.)--Fire, 1811. The proposal was not approved.

Winter Paralympics

This heading should be established as a name heading. The proposal to establish as a subject heading was not approved.
