 Other decisions:

Afro-Latin Americans

LCSH does not include composite headings for nationalities in countries other than the United States (see SHM H 1919.5). The proposal was not approved.

Conservatism in art

The work being cataloged is about art trends that go against the prevailing trends of the time, not about conservatism in particular. The proposal was not approved.

Japanese American microscopists; Microscopists; Microscopists—United States                      

The information provided from the work being cataloged does not identify the subject of the work as a microscopist. The proposals were not necessary.

Rancho Santa Margarita (Calif.)

There is a ranch and a populated place (ppl) called Rancho Santa Margarita in California – and the ranch was very distinct from the ppl.  A proposal to change the subject heading to Rancho Santa Margarita (Calif. : Ranch) was approved on this list.  The proposal on the list to cancel the heading was not approved.

Refugees, Syrian

Works on refugees from an individual country are assigned Refugees—[place]. The proposal was not approved.

Verse drama, Peruvian

No information in English describing the content of the work as Peruvian verse drama was provided in the proposal. The proposal may be resubmitted.

White Sands National Monument (N.M.); White Sands National Park (N.M.)

It appears that this monument/park underwent a name change. There should be a single record, with the former name as a UF (H 925 sec. 1.b). A single proposal to change the heading for the monument should be resubmitted. The proposing library should delete the proposal for White Sands National Park (N.M.).

Yuan Ming Yuan (Beijing, China)

This proposal was made to make an Italian-language UF, but Italian is not a pertinent language of this park (H 690 sec. 10). The proposal was not approved.

 

GENRE/FORM TERMS

Communions (Music)

Genre/form terms are to be proposed as needed for works being cataloged. There was no “work cat.” citation in the proposal. The proposal may be resubmitted.

Indie folk music

The meeting was uncertain about the distinction between indie folk music and folk-rock music. The proposal may be resubmitted with additional information and a clarified scope note.

Picture discs

This term would refer to the physical format/carrier, not to a genre or form.  The correct BT would be Phonograph records, but LCGFT specifically does not include that term, or a term for compact discs, or cassette tapes, or any similar terms. The proposal was not approved.
