Hi Haim and Colleagues! Thanks very much for keeping us informed about LC's new practices (barring any retraction of the changes in response to the ALA Core SAC Working Group report). Are you planning to maintain/expand the informal list of useful LCGFT terms, and do you recommend posting it to the wiki? As work proceeds, additional terms will be identified (e.g., *Sermons* comes to mind) and the need for new terms will arise.
I expect it will take a while for the impacts of the new practice to be fully documented throughout LC's cataloging documentation, e.g., SHM H2190 on *Texts*, would need to reflect the shift from the old formulation of *650 #0 $a [Religion/Sect/Special Liturgy/Holiday] $x Liturgy $v Texts*, by omitting the *$v Texts, *and applying additionally *655 #7 $a Liturgical books. $2 lcgft* As the reverberations of this policy change manifest and are codified, and if many (especially PCC) libraries do not follow suit with LC's practice, I am concerned that the impact will create confusion for librarians and patrons. I hope that the intended benefits related to the linked data environment outweigh the disruption. [This statement reflects my personal *$v Commentaries* and *655-7 $a Commentaries*, and not the official views of any institution or organization!!!] Many thanks, Lenore Lenore Bell (she, her, hers) *Senior Advisor for Strategic Initiatives * 202.560.7505 The David M.
