Hello all. After something of a false start (my fault on that), I am hoping to start the work identified for the Scope Notes Working Group. A reminder, the description we can up for the working group was to identify LCSH headings that could benefit from scope notes. This will include gaining insights from the cataloging community on headings that they find particularly confusing or see often misapplied. The group will then draft scope notes for some of these headings in accordance with LC procedures, and submit them, with an eye to finding a clear workflow for headings that could benefit from scope notes.
Reminder that you don't need to be a SAC member to join a working group. If you are interested in joining the working group, please contact me at mjoyce4@hawaii.edu
I have set up a whenisgood to see when the most people can meet. Apologies for the reduced meeting times, since I'm in Hawaiʻi, there are limited times that make sense to meet. Please fill this in by the 15th if you would like to attend, in addition to emailing me.
We did create a
spreadsheet listing subject headings that might need scope notes. Feel free to add anything you would like to have the group work on.
Thank you,
Margaret
