LCSH Changes: A Mixed Bag

With Voyager down, I have a little time to tend to the drifts of papers on my desk, filling things, trashing things, putting things in completely different piles. Very satisfying. In this excavation, I unearthed the last couple of issues of the Cataloging Service Bulletin, which have been shamefully languishing on my desk, and I thought I’d let you all know about a few changes that might be of interest in our catalog.

[Old Heading ==> New Heading]

Breast feeding ==> Breastfeeding

Restitution and indemnification claims (1933- ) ==> [Headings for individual ethnic groups]—Claims

Restitution and indemnification claims (1933- ) ==> Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)--Reparations

Restitution and indemnification claims (1933- ) ==> World War, 1939-1945--Claims

Restitution and indemnification claims (1933- ) ==> World War, 1939-1945--Reparations

Treasure-trove ==> Treasure troves

I haven’t gotten to all these yet, so you may see the older forms still lurking around GIL until Voyager comes back up.

That's a regular treasure-trove of changes!

Wa ha ha! Why yes, it is. And I only touched on a few of the "gems". :)
