[This message is being cross-posted to multiple lists. Please excuse the duplication.] On January 8, 2010 the Policy and Standards Division (PSD) of the Library of Congress issued a discussion paper entitled “Proposed Revision to the Hierarchies of Moving Image Genre/Form Headings,” which broached the idea of explicitly placing many of the LC moving image genre/form headings into either a fiction or a nonfiction hierarchy. PSD would like to thank everyone who provided comments on this issue. PSD has decided not to move forward on its proposal at this time. An explanation of the rationale for this decision is available on the Library of Congress’ web site at http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/movingimagehierarchiesdecision.pdf. Additional information on the genre/form projects at the Library of Congress can be found on PSD’s genre/form web page, http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/genreformgeneral.html. The web page includes a timeline, an extensive FAQ, reports, discussion papers, and announcements. Questions and comments on the projects may be addressed to Janis L. Young, LC’s genre/form coordinator, at j...@loc.gov. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Janis L. Young Policy and Standards Division Library of Congress ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- Heidi G.
