Kol tuv, Jasmin From: SACO Cataloging Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Berthoud, Heidy I Sent: Monday, January 6, 2025 4:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [SACOLIST] SACO Shorts: No work cat (common problem) When you propose a new subject heading, make sure you cite the work being cataloged, or work cat, and provide a short statement in English that clearly connects the work cat to the proposed heading. This should be the first citation listed in your proposal.* You should indicate the work being cataloged by including work cat in the 670 subfield a ($a). When entering a proposal in ClassWeb Plus, a Work cat 670 is automatically supplied as the first 670 field. Examples Birds with disabilities 670 $a Work cat: Brave birds, 2024: $b CIP summary (This book includes inspiring stories about birds with disabilities; disabled animal) galley (Disabled birds; Disabilities can affect chickens like Granite and other birds. Some disabilities are present from birth. Others can result from an illness or injury) $w (DLC)2024011149 Mark Tanner Sculpture Award 670 $a Work cat: Thinking is making: objects in a space, the Mark Tanner Sculpture Award, 2023: $b cover (20th anniversary of the Mark Tanner Sculpture award. Showcases contemporary British sculpture) $w (UkOxU)991025530935807026 To read more about the research required for subject proposals, please see H 202 Authority Research for Subject Heading Proposals<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.loc.gov/aba/publications/FreeSHM/H0202.pdf__;!!IBzWLUs!U6H5wp80_0RYd6Tydm92JAgsOuKm1THrhxr2gJsI_pAoKdTcknwLNP7zylC1wtdPivqc76myko5vAx1yYpU$>. *If you're proposing a new heading needed for a reference hierarchy, you do not need to include a work cat. As an example: Pretend you're proposing a new heading for the Kota Batu archeological site in Brunei. The heading Brunei--Antiquities would also be needed, since it does not already exist in the subject authority file, and it will be used as a broader term for the archeological site. You would not need a work cat citation for Brunei--Antiquities in this instance, since the heading is simply needed for the reference hierarchy. (We will discuss broader terms and reference hierarchies in more detail in future SACO Shorts!) SACO Shorts are quick tips that cover common proposal problems or frequently asked questions. SACO Shorts are published on the first and third Mondays of the month.
