• Lisa Robinson
  • November headings processing is complete
  • Heads up: LC is canceling multiples per this announcement (e.g. --Buddhism, [Christianity, etc.]); replacing with individual headings for each. Going forward, catalogers will have to check the authority file before using implicated headings. If a needed heading doesn't yet exist, it will require a SACO proposal.
• Tim
  • Maps Library locked cabinet sheet maps will eventually be a test case for flipping current AGS classification to LC; Tim works on these maps accordingly when other pieces aren't in queue, in an attempt to have them completed before a test occurs.
  • Has encountered his first maps from the Lockwood collection

  • An interesting one: someone had crossed out all of the "swear words"
• Janet
