CLASSIFICATION
JQ795
This proposal was made to establish a separate number for French Indochina in the hierarchy for political institutions and public administration in Southeast Asia and Indochina. In subject cataloging, Indochina is used for works about French Indochina (see the note in the name authority record for French Indochina). The work should be classed in JQ750, general works about Southeast Asia and Indochina. An “Including” note was added to the hierarchy line [JQ750-1064] to clarify the practice. The proposal was not approved.
H8 600.2
This proposal was made to establish a separate number for Indochina and French Indochina in the hierarchy for Southeast Asia and Indochina; the note “Including French Indochina” already exists in the hierarchy. Works about French Indochina should be classed in 590.8, General works on Southeast Asia, Indochina, and French Indochina. The proposal was not approved.
SUBJECT HEADINGS
Forced migration—Religious aspects; Forced migration—Religious aspects—Catholic Church
According to an online summary of the work being cataloged, the work is about the religious aspects of humanitarian assistance for refugees, and also describes a religious and ethical framework for addressing the refugee crisis. It does not appear to be about the religious aspects of forced migration. The heading Humanitarian assistance—Religious aspects—Catholic Church should be assigned. The proposals were not necessary.
Gajar family
The citation for the work being cataloged seems to identify the nationality of the author of the work, not the location or nationality of the family. See H 1631 sec. 3 for guidance on proposing family name headings for LCSH. The proposal may be resubmitted.
Gayo Highland (Indonesia)
A Google citation in the record provides two variant names for the geographic feature. The website(s) found when using Google should be cited, not Google itself (see SHM H 203 sec. 6). The proposal may be resubmitted.
Names, Tamil
The information that appears in a 952 cataloger’s note should be provided in the citation for the work being cataloged. The proposal may be resubmitted.
Photoredox-mediated ring-opening metathesis polymerization
The proposed heading is too specific for a general vocabulary such as LCSH. Two headings may be assigned to the work being cataloged, Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (which was approved on this list) and Addition spectroscopy. A term from a specialized vocabulary may be assigned if desired. The proposal was not approved.
Tandem ion mobility mass spectrometry
The proposed heading is too specific for a general vocabulary such as LCSH. Two headings may be assigned to the work being cataloged, Ion mobility mass spectrometry (which was approved on this list) and Tandem mass spectrometry. A term from a specialized vocabulary may be assigned if a single heading for the use of two mass spectrometers in tandem is desired. The proposal was not approved.
GENRE/FORM TERMS
Paranormal romance fiction
Genre/Form Manual J 120 sec. 1 states that genre/form terms that merely combine two or more already-established terms should are not generally established. The terms Romance fiction and Paranormal fiction should be assigned. The proposal was not approved.
Speeches
This proposal sought to add a UF Radio addresses to the established heading Speeches. Addresses (Speeches) is already a UF to Speeches. The proposal was not approved.
Student newspapers.
The phrase student newspapers reflects the creators and the audiences of the newspapers, and is not a genre/form term. The term Newspapers or Community newspapers may be assigned. The proposal was not approved.
MEDIUM OF PERFORMANCETERMS
Changes were made as indicated on the approved list.
DEMOGRAPHIC TERMS
