***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/
For the full announcement, including a description of the scope of the project, please see LC’s website at http://www.loc.gov/catdir/
