SAC Working Group Opposing the Removal of $v (Form Subdivisions) from Subject Headings in "Modern MARC"
Chair: Deborah Tomaras (Deborah.Tomaras@marist.edu)
Working group will promote awareness of the Library of Congress policy to not include $v (form subdivisions) in subject headings as part of "modern MARC"; and will advocate for a reversal of that policy and retention of $v. Particular attention will be paid to investigating the effects of this change for non-academic libraries, articulating the usefulness of $v for users, and highlighting the negative impacts of the loss of this subfield.
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 chair.
