[ha-Safran] Subject to change: Jewish-Arab relations, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, etc. in LCSH and LCC

[J N via Hasafran]

Dear colleagues,
As some of us well know, correctly applying the subjectheading Jewish-Arab 
relations has been a challenge. Roger Kohn of the Libraryof Congress (LC) has 
previously presented at AJL (2019) regarding the use andmisuse of this subject 
heading, yet we catalogers still struggle to accuratelycapture a book’s content 
using the subject headings as they’ve existed thusfar.
To this end, the last time I came across a mis-appliedJewish-Arab relations 
subject in a bibliographic record (for the 2021autobiographical novel 
Maḳlubah), I reached out to Roger. He suggested weapproach LC’s Policy, 
Training, and Cooperative Programs (PTCP) Division withthe hopes of finally 
getting greater clarity on the correct usage of thesubject. We were thrilled to 
discover a Cooperative, Training, and PolicySection (CTPS, a section of PTCP) 
that was not only interested in clarifyingthis specific subject, but open to 
working together with us to find better,more accurate ways to describe the 
materials we collect and catalog in thissubject area. Our thanks go to Nancy 
Cooey and Melanie Polutta of CTPS.
What started as an inquiry regarding the scope note of onesubject heading 
blossomed into a project encompassing 15 proposals! Theseinclude 4 new subject 
headings, 8 modified subject headings, and 3classification schedule 
modifications. Our thanks go to Roger for his heavylifting in preparing the 
actual proposals. Before submitting these proposals toLC’s subject editorial 
board for the formal review process, we’d like to give you the opportunity to 
hearwhat the proposals are and contribute your feedback.

We have scheduled a Zoom session with Melanie and Jasminpresenting on May 17, 
2023, at 10am EDT. This time is meant to accommodate bothwest coast and Israeli 
participants. We’ve allotted 2 hours in order to allowtime after the 
presentation for questions. We will be recording the session forthose unable to 
join live. Please register here.

Looking forward to sharing our work with you,

Roger KohnAaron Taub
