***Announcement*** Since early 2007, the Library of Congress has been developing *Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms for Library and Archival Materials* (LCGFT), whose terms describe what something *is* rather than what it is *about*, as subject headings do. In February 2018 the Policy and Standards Division (PSD) will approve approximately 50 new genre/form terms for artistic and visual works. This genre/form project is a collaboration undertaken by PSD and the Cataloging Advisory Committee of the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA). PSD wholeheartedly thanks the members of the Committee for their time and effort. The proposed terms appear on Tentative List 1802a ( http://classificationweb.net/tentative-subjects/1802a.html), to be approved on February 16, 2018. PSD is requesting comments from the library community; please email Janis L. Young at [log in to unmask] through February 2, 2018. For the full announcement, including a description of the scope of the project, please see LC’s website at http://www.loc.gov/catdir/ cpso/artvisualgenreform.html/. Janis L.
