SAC Working Group on Local Authorities
Group co-chairs: Allison Bailund (abailund@sdsu.edu), Rebecca Saunders (rlsaunders@email.wcu.edu)
In response to the tentative list with the changes to Gulf of Mexico and Denali, there is increased interest in making sure that the broader library community (with particular attention to non-academic libraries) is aware of changes to LCSH, and providing information on how to change display names and/or create local records.
With that in mind, the proposal that was voted on in the meeting was for SAC to:
-
Promote awareness of these and possible current changes;
-
To collect information on the responses of libraries to such changes;
-
To assess what the needs are of libraries interested in making local changes, and;
-
To provide information consistent with these needs
Possible activities for this group include creating a survey that would address the first three of these issues, towards creating resources that would address the needs identified.
Reminder that you don't need to be a SAC member to join a working group. If you have any additional questions, please contact the chairs.
