OCLC FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology) Update Eric Childress, Consulting Project Manager, OCLC Group Discussion: "Jewish Men Librarians" is not in LCSH Led by Netanel Ganin, Metadata Coordinator - Hebrew Specialty, Brandeis University When a resource is about a specific group of people, with one or more intersecting identities, LCSH demands that we construct the entire group as an authorized term. (Example: "Gay men, White" has three identities in a single string) In effect, this not only creates a great deal of bloat (filling LCSH with every possible intersection of identities) but also means that the vast majority of terms that may be needed are not available because they haven't been created yet. Looking at the newly minted Library of Congress Demographic Group Terms (LCDGT), shows the potential for a creating an authorized heading for each piece of an identity and then post-coordinating them together as needed.
