Announcement re: [Topic] in comics and --In comics free-floating subdivision
Marist College made a proposal to establish the heading Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in comics. This proposal establishes a new pattern to address the study of a topic within comic books and graphic novels, following the existing pattern of topics in literature and art. This heading and the resulting pattern were approved on List 2203. As a result of this decision, the Library also decided to extend the ability to bring out topics in comics and graphic novels in historical and critical works by establishing the free-floating subdivision $x In comics. The subdivision may be used under names of individual persons, families, corporate bodies, and countries, cities etc., Christian denominations and uniform titles of sacred works, and under names of deities, mythological or legendary figures, and fictitious characters. All uses under wars will need to be established editorially, e.g., World War, 1939-1945—Comics and the war.  The instruction sheet H 1430 for Comics and Comic Characters and related pattern instruction sheets will be updated to reflect this change in practice.

At approximately the same time, the ALA Graphic Novel and Comics Round Table, in cooperation with the ALA Subject Access Committee, made a revision proposal to H 1430 to allow for increased subject access to comics and graphic novels by adding a Special Provisions section, as is done in H 1790 for fiction. This instruction sheet revision is in process, and the updated instruction sheet will include the use of [Topic] in comics, --In comics subdivision, and the special provisions for increased subject access. The finalized version will be announced and posted on the website<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.loc.gov/aba/publications/FreeSHM/freeshm.html__;!!KGKeukY!3RQf1YaQQzxIx0-rzh5ojJmYsDmzyIoze58UThMTmfs_iYVNYKH93W0cz0PORgKgzShxW3ZtsBrdoYyZINA9eig18BQd8w$ > as well as published in Cataloger’s Desktop. The Library thanks the GNCRT for their work in moving this forward.
