Is there any one of you who does not use the LC class of E-F for Native
American art, but uses N? My big bug-a-boo, I find using E-F quite
offensive & will pull out books & put them SOMEWHERE in N. For a while, I've
lumped them into N5310.5.N67, but it has become too much of a lump. I
decided I wanted to give the situation a thorough investigation and come up
with a logical and consistant spot. So I'm wondering what other libraries
do - besides accepting LC's prejudices. Do you break them up by location,
tribe or ?? I do put specific media with that media, such as weaving goes
in NK, etc. But for general art??
Another question in the same line. What do you do with rock art? Is there
one general place? Or do you just put it all into the one general
prehistoric art category?
I don't recall ever seeing the E-F question discussed here & I'm rather
surprised. Maybe others have found the answer & it didn't need to be
discussed, but I've never heard it.
Thanks,
