----------------------------Original message---------------------------- ARLIS/NA members should be aware of this proposal by the Library of Congress for major changes in how time periods and chronological subdivisions are assigned in art subject cataloging. The proposal has two sections: 1. Change in assignment of headings for time period. 2. Change in formulation of headings with chronological subdivisions. The first section is a new proposal. The second section would implement recommendations made by the Cataloging Advisory Committee on behalf of ARLIS/NA last year. The Cataloging Advisory Committee will formulate ARLIS/NA's official response to this proposal, but individuals are encouraged to respond to LC directly as well. It would also be useful for CAC to hear from members. Please comment on ARLIS-L or send messages directly to me.
