CLASSIFICATION

            Announcement

            Cutters based on the word Negroes
                        This list includes proposals to cancel the 40 cutters 
that were based on the word Negroes. The replacement cutters are based on the 
word Blacks. For example, D547.N4, Negroes in World War I, was replaced by 
D547.B64, Blacks in World War II.

SUBJECT HEADINGS

            Announcements

            Internment camps; Concentration camps
                        The heading Concentration camps was cancelled and 
replaced with the headings Nazi concentration camps and Internment camps on 
List 2104 (April 2021). List 2106a consisted of additional proposals cancel 
headings that included the phrase “concentration camp” and replace them with 
two headings. For example, Concentration camp buildings was cancelled in favor 
of Internment camp buildings and Nazi concentration camp buildings. List 2106a 
also included proposals to adjust BTs on other headings.

            Video games
                        In response to a report from the Joint OLAC/SAC Task 
Force on Preferred Titles for Games, the meeting has decided that titles of 
individual video games should now be established in the name authority file and 
headings for video game franchises should be established as subjects in the 
form [title of franchise] video games, with the BT Video games. For example, 
Angry Birds: Star Wars should be established in the NAF since it is one title, 
while Angry Birds video games should be established in LCSH to represent the 
franchise. SHM H 405 will be updated to reflect this decision.
            Headings for video games in LCSH will be examined individually to 
determine whether each should be cancelled and reestablished in the name 
authority file, or be revised and retained in LCSH.
In addition, LCSH currently includes the headings Computer games, Electronic 
games, Internet games, and Video games. While there probably were distinctions 
among the headings when they were established (for example, Video games seems 
to have been intended for arcade games, and Computer games, for games played on 
home gaming consoles), the distinctions have been lost over time. It is also 
doubtful that the distinctions between the headings would be useful or 
intuitive going forward, even if they could be determined and contrasting scope 
notes provided. Therefore, on a future list the headings Computer games, 
Electronic games, and Internet games will be cancelled and become UF references 
to Video games, which seems to be the most common terminology.
            PTCP thanks the Joint OLAC/SAC Task Force on Preferred Titles for 
Games for their recommendations and report.

Other decisions:


            Bible stories, Ladino

                        Only the Ladino-language title of the work being 
cataloged was provided to support this proposal. The proposal may be 
resubmitted with information in English that explains the relationship of the 
work to the heading being proposed.
