<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Catalogers,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:red">You are strongly encouraged to use LC Genre Form Terms (LCGFT) and LC Demographic Group Terms (LCDGT) in addition to assigning subject headings in your cataloging and authority work.
</span></b> It seems there have been mixed messages about the use of LCGFT and LCDGT. PTCP, in consultation with the Director of ABA, Beacher Wiggins, wants to be clear that there is
<b><span style="color:red">no prohibition on using these headings</span></b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We understand there is concern about the lack of training for using the vocabularies and ask that you consult the manuals for the immediate term. PTCP is currently developing training for the use of LCGFT and hopes it will be ready by January
15, 2024. Dorie Kurtz and Amy Phillips are working on this training. Once the asynchronous self-paced tutorials are available, PTCP will be offering office hours to address questions related to the training, applying, and proposing LCGFT headings.
