March 27th Webinar
Library of Congress Subject Heading Authority Work

Join our colleagues at Minitex for an introduction to Library of Congress subject authority work. Learn how Library of Congress Subject Headings are updated and maintained in the Library of Congress Authority File. Make sense of how different groups like the Program for Cooperative Cataloging SACO Funnels and the ALA Subject Authority Committee work with the Library of Congress to update and grow the subject authority file. See how past radical cataloging projects, like the Hennepin County Library Bulletins and Authority File, have informed and inspired current critical cataloging projects. Get inspired to do this work or get excited for later presentations in this series.
