Shalom all

LCSH has the following scope note on the heading Palestine:
"Here are entered works on the region on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean 
Sea that in ancient times was called the Land of Canaan, later the kingdoms of 
Israel and Judah, and in modern times comprises the entire state of Israel, as 
well as the various disputed territories. Works on a specific jurisdiction or 
territory within this region are entered under its respective name."

So presumably, this heading should not be used for the specific area of the 
Palestinian Authority.

However in a recent LC record (2009013831) for the 2009 book "Israel's foreign 
policy towards the PLO"
http://lccn.loc.gov/2009013831

I find subjects:
Israel--Relations--Palestine
 and
Palestine--Relations--Israel
tagged 651 0

Has there been a change in policy? If so, the scope note should presumably be 
changed.
