Genre headings should also be used and should be taken from the Library of Congress Genre and Form Thesaurus and are applied in the same manner regardless of audience age. The working group is making this recommendation because children’s subject headings usually duplicate adult headings and the KPAC can be easily configured to accommodate this decision. The working group is also recommending that children’s subject headings from the lcshac list not be used. The Authorities Working Group recommends the use of adult subject headings with the appropriate juvenile subject subdivision heading. Recommendation concerning Children’s subject headings Deleting these headings will reduce duplication of headings in the database. The Authorities Working Group recommends that fast headings be deleted from the Cardinal database.
Recommendation concerning OCLC’s fast headings All foreign language subject terms other than those from Bilindex should be deleted. The working group further recommends the continued observance of foreign languages and as another one becomes prominently used in the state then a controlled vocabulary list for that language should be sought. However, personal, corporate and place names should continue to come from the naf and LCSH. Although these subject heading terms are widely used on bib records found in OCLC and LC it would be difficult to add them to new records without access to the vocabulary list itself. The working group recommends that the consortium investigate a consortium subscription to Bilindex due to the ever-increasing population in North Carolina whose native language is Spanish. These headings should be correctly coded as 650 -7 $2 bidex. Recommendation concerning the use of foreign language subject headings:įor materials in all formats whose primary language is Spanish the Cardinal Authority Working Group recommends that in addition to LCSH terms, subject headings from the Bilindex vocabulary list should also be added, or at least preserved.
