<div>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.</div>
<div class="elementToProof"><br>

<div class="elementToProof">We are distributing two surveys to assess both (1) needs for implementing local subject headings and (2) existing methods utilized for implementing local subjects.</div>
