American Indian Library Association: Subject Access and Classification Committee

 

SUBJECT HEADINGS

 

Part of the mission of the SACC Committee of the American Indian Library Association is to identify ways to improve subject headings. A portion of this work centers around proposing subject headings to the Library of Congress, for inclusion in Library of Congress Subject Authority File. Identifying and proposing changes to existing LC subject headings-- to clarify or correct problematic or inadequate headings-- also falls under the umbrella of the SACC Committee. This page is a forum for committee members to record proposed headings, which may be generated by conversation on the AILA list, by conversation with other librarians, or by their work with Native communities and materials. This page also lists subsequent stages in a proposal's life, including submission to review committees, submission to the Library of Congress, and commentary by committee members working on proposals. Proposed changes to existing headings, and related proposals are also recorded here. LC Guidelines for the SACO program are available at http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/saco/saco.html

 

In addition, SACC and AILA members are encouraged to record successful SACO proposals-- including those not associated with the AILA-SACC Committee-- in order to build a record of competence and expertise that will eventually help us found a Native American SACO funnel project (FAQ about funnel projects).

 

 

 

 


 

New LC Subject Headings

Suggested New Subject Headings

Anyone can propose a heading for the SACC Committee to work on. AILA members should feel free to post needed headings to the AILA list-serv or contact a member of the SACC committee so that their suggestions for new subject headings can be logged. Suggestions are encouraged and welcomed. A list of SACC members is on the main page of this wiki.

 

 

     

  • Federal Indian law

Comments:

 

  • Federal Indian policy

Comments:

 

  • Indians of North America--Removal

Comments: The new heading, Indian Removal, 1813-1903, was formulated by LC with AILA input and added to LCSH on June 8, 2007

 

  • Longest Walk

Comments: Warrant: American Indian Activism: ALCATRAZ TO THE LONGEST WALK, 1997; also: http://www.smithsonianlegacies.si.edu/objectdescription.cfm?ID=231 and http://www.jofreeman.com/photos/Longest_Walk.htm + many others...

 

  • Tribal Sovereignty 

Comments: See Michael McLaughlin's article in Versed (Nov-Dec 2005 issue). McLaughlin notes that there is no SH for Tribal Sovereignty and makes some points about classification that may also be of interest to the committee. For literary warrent: a quick survey of local catalog turned up four works that used "Tribal Sovereignty". If others find further works, please add to this entry. (KB)

 

 

New Subject Heading Proposals Submitted for Review

Some institutions offer a system of review for SACO proposals. When possible, SACC works with staff at such institutions to take advantage of existing review programs and expertise.

More Success - Other SACO proposals by AILA members

These SACO proposals have been submitted by AILA/SACC members but are not associated with the work of the AILA-SACC Committee. Building up a record of competence and expertise in proposal submissions will help the committee and AILA to eventually establish a Native American SACO Funnel Project. Please order subject headings alphabetically, and place submitter's initials in parantheses following heading.

 

 

 

 

 

 

New Indian-Related Subject Headings Culled from LC Weekly Lists

Weekly lists of new and changed subject headings are posted on the Cataloging Policy and Support Office web site as they are approved. Diacritics and most special characters are not displayed. There are generally fifty-one weekly lists each year, with no list published for the final week of December. Recorded below are Indian-related headings, culled by AILA-SACC volunteers. For a full listing of all newly approved and changed headings, please consult the Library of Congress Subject Headings Weekly Lists page. The first list below, the tentative weekly list, consists of headings that are being reviewed by the Library of Congress. The list that follows, the approved weekly list, consists of headings that have been reviewed and approved for use.

 

It is the committee's hope that this record of heading review and approval will eventually become a useful historical record, and will assist both catalogers working with American Indian materials, and scholars researching cataloging trends related to American Indian peoples.

 

Starred headings were submitted by AILA members.
