[Libs-Or] ALA Core Subject Analysis Committee's Working Group on Local Headings survey

[Charles Wood]

The American Library Association Core Subject Analysis Committee's Working Group on Local Headings seeks to survey libraries, archives, museums and associated institutions about their involvement in the work of revising subjects, genres, and other authority data in their local catalogs. This work might include changing, augmenting, or masking terms from controlled vocabularies such as Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), creating local headings, etc.

We are distributing two surveys to assess both (1) needs for implementing local subject headings and (2) existing methods utilized for implementing local subjects.

Take the survey on local heading needs to share what support you think your institution would need to make changes to subjects, genres, and other authority data in the local catalog. Link: https://lnkd.in/etYbBcsN

AND/OR

Take the survey on methods used for local headings to share what methods your institution uses or has used to make changes to subjects, genres, and other authority data in the local catalog. Link: https://lnkd.in/eSgPaFSe
The surveys will close on December 5, 2025. If you have questions about the survey or the Working Group, please email working group chairs, Allison Bailund, abailund at sdsu.edu or Rebecca Saunders, rlsaunders at email.wcu.edu
