New LCSH of Interest

Lots of interesting subject heading changes coming down the pipe, but I wanted to call your attention to this one as I figured it might be heavily used.

War on Terrorism, 2001- is now War on Terrorism, 2001-2009. The scope note for the authority record gives a pretty good explanation.

Here are entered works on the events, metaphorically referred to as a "war," consisting of military operations, diplomatic activities, and other counterterrorist measures undertaken by the United States during the period from September 11, 2001 to the end of the administration of George W. Bush.

If you're looking for governmental antiterrorist measures before or after the Bush administration, see Terrorism--Prevention.
