I am sure that you are all as riveted to the LCSH Weekly Lists as I am, but just in case you missed #13 (March 30, 2005), I thought you might like a summary of a few of the more significant subject heading changes and additions that will be coming our way.
[Old Heading ==>New Heading]
Children of narcotic addicts ==>Children of drug addicts
Cocaine habit ==>Cocaine abuse
[No old heading] ==>Drug abusers
Heroin habit ==>Heroin abuse
Narcotic addicts ==>Drug addicts
Narcotic clinics ==>Substance abuse treatment facilities
Narcotic enforcement agents ==>Drug enforcement agents
Narcotic habit ==>Drug addiction
Narcotic habit--Hospitals ==>Substance abuse treatment facilities
Narcotics, Control of ==>Drug control
Narcotics and crime ==>Drug abuse and crime
Narcotics and youth ==>Drugs and youth
Narcotics dealers ==>Drug dealers
Narcotics in literature ==>Drugs in literature
Narcotics in literature ==>Drug abuse in literature
Opioid habit ==>Opioid abuse
Opium habit ==>Opium abuse
Opium habit in literature ==>Opium abuse in literature
Social work with narcotic addicts ==>Social work with drug addicts
Women narcotics dealers ==>Women drug dealers
This is just a small selection of the changes, but, in most cases, the term "narcotics" has been broadened to "drugs" and the term "habit" has been replaced by "abuse" and/or "addiction". I expect the new records to arrive from MARCIVE at the end of this month and I will process them as soon as I can. Until that time the older headings will remain in the catalog. Please feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions.
