Dear Colleagues,
SAVE THE DATE:
Cataloging Form: LCDGT headings
Thursday, November 17, 2022
12:30pm ET
A patron is looking for a specific book, one written by a Hebrew language instructor and intended for students of the Hebrew language. To help out with the search, the cataloger might include specific headings in the bibliographic record. The headings are the Library of Congress Demographic Group Terms (LCDGT) - a controlled vocabulary created by the Library of Congress to supplement the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) by bringing out the demographic group of the author, and/or the demographic group of the intended audience. These terms are intended to help patrons in specific searches for works by specific types of creators or for works directed toward specific audiences. This Cataloging Forum will discuss the best practice use of the LCDGT headings, where in the bibliographic record and Name Authority Records these LCDGT headings are recorded, and making proposals.
All the best,
Haim
