Dear Heidi, SCM H980 2. directs us to "Qualify subject headings for geographic features or other entities that are located entirely within one of these places [e.g., Golan] by the appropriate territory or city."
The examples provided are all geographic headings established in the Subject Authority File, not in the LCNAF: 151 ## $a Via Dolorosa (Jerusalem) 151 ## $a Shatti (Gaza Strip : Refugee camp) 151 ## $a Qanah River Cave (West Bank) Two notes also confirm that the qualifier is not, however, applied to name headings: "Note: The practice for qualifying subject headings for entities in the West Bank or Gaza Strip differs from the practice for name headings. Name headings for jurisdictions in those locations are not qualified." and "Note: Name headings for jurisdictions within these places are established without qualifiers, for example, Hebron, Nablus, Gaza, etc." I hope that this information from the SCM is helpful. Neverthless, one of our name authority experts may have even more to say on this matter. Lenore >>> "Heidi Lerner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2/8/2008 11:58 AM >>> Dear Group, I would like to establish the following Moshav that is located on the Golan Heights: Eliad SCM H980 says that we would use Golan Heights as a subdivision directly after topics without interposing the name of any larger geographic entity. We would use it as a qualifier for subject headings for geographic features or other entities that are located entirely within the Golan Heigfhts Would this also apply to places that are established in the LC/NACO Authority File Please let me know if the following heading would be correct' 151 0 Eli'ad (Golan Heights) I looked up the city of Katsrin which is located in the Golan Heights and it does not have a qualifier. It is established as: Qaṣrīn (n 80100078) so I am not entirely sure how to proceed. Thank you, Heidi Heidi G. Lerner Hebraica/Judaica Cataloger Catalog Dept.
