FORM/GENRE TERMINOLOGY IN LIBRARY OPACS? The bibliographic community has expressed considerable interest in improving the indexing and representation of forms and genres in library online catalogs. Recent changes to the USMARC format provide the community with an opportunity to employ form/genre terminology for the benefit of users as never before. The Library of Congress has established a Form/Genre Working Group to create an LCSH list of controlled terms and to write cataloger guidelines. Several thesaurus developers already have or are in the process of creating controlled lists of form/genre terms. Many issues (such as system design and retrospective conversion) remain to be resolved before any substantive progress can be made. To improve coordination, communication, and research on form/genre issues, the ALCTS CCS Subject Analysis Committee established a Subcommittee on Form Headings/Subdivisions Implementation. As a first step, the Subcommittee has created a Web site where relevant papers and documentation can be found in one convenient place. Please check out this Web site for more information: http://www.pitt.edu/~agtaylor/ala/alac.htm You are also invited to participate in an interesting discussion to take place during the 1997 ALA Midwinter Meeting. There will be brief presentations on current status followed by a lively discussion.
