----------------------------Original message---------------------------- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- To: Cathy Quinn From: Milicent Wewerka, Cataloging Policy and Support Office, Library of Congress You are correct that for library materials and architecture the subdivision --Conservation and restoration is not further subdivided by place. The correct subject heading is Architecture--Spain--Conservation and restoration. The heading Art, Italian--Conservation and restoration--Italy--Florence is correct. The heading Art, Italian--Italy--Padua--Conservation and restoration is NOT correct and I will change the bibliographic record to put the geographic subdivision in the correct location. When the geographic subdivision follows --Conservation and restoration it means that the activity of conserving or restoring is done in that place. In some cases of course, the place of activity will be the same as the place of origin of the object being worked on. >>> Cathy Quinn <[log in to unmask]> 12/10/97 11:01am >>> I have two questions regarding the use of the free-floating subdivision Conservation and restoration. The first question pertains to current LC guidelines for the use of the subdivision. The printed version of instructions for the use of -- Conservation and restoration in the Subject Cataloging Manual (H1095) contains an additional sentence which the online authority record (sh85-31252) does not. The additional sentence in the printed version reads: "This subdivision may be further subdivided by place only in the case of art objects." Does this mean that for "library materials, types of architecture, etc." the subdivision cannot be further subdivided by place? This question arose in connection with a book I am currently cataloging which contains the papers from a conference held in Spain regarding the conservation and restoration of buildings located in Spain. Should I assign the subject heading: Architecture -- Spain -- Conservation and restoration or Architecture -- Conservation and restoration -- Spain.. Or both? My second question concerns the difference in meaning in the construction of headings of the type: Art, Italian -- Conservation and restoration -- Italy -- Florence (which appears on lccn 93173659) Art, Italian -- Italy -- Padua -- Conservation and restoration (which appears on lccn 89101780) What is the difference in meaning when the geographic subdivision is placed before as opposed to after Conservation and restoration? I am unclear as to where I should place the geographic subdivision in relation to Conservation and restoration and how the placement affects the meaning of the subject string. Any guidance you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Cathy Quinn National Gallery of Art/Library [log in to unmask] [forwarded to ARLIS-L by Sherman Clarke with the permission of Cathy Q.]
