As such, many people wondered how we were going to handle the changes and allow you the freedom and flexibility to do whats best for you library. Our expert librarian, Karen, drew up this explanation of the changes and how we can help you:<\/p>\n<p>Proposals for handling the new LC policy for map form subdivisions<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>When LC created Genre\/Form headings for cartographic materials, they looked at the current usage of form subdivisions in the LCSH.\u00a0 They put out a proposal for comment last year and after a period for comments, decided to proceed with it.\u00a0 The following snippet describes the basic policy change.\u00a0 The entire proposal can be read at:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.loc.gov\/catdir\/cpso\/cartographic.pdf\">http:\/\/www.loc.gov\/catdir\/cpso\/cartographic.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn order to ameliorate the negative impacts of the genre\/form projects as outlined above, PSD proposes that the syntax of subdivisions be altered. Its proposal is to simplify the form subdivisions, removing the qualifier (e.g. Topographic, Bathymetric) and allowing the more specific genre\/form heading to characterize the type of map being described\u2026. 14 of the 17 form subdivisions used for cartographic materials would be affected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, the new LC policy is to use $vMaps on 650 headings and add the more descriptive Genre\/Form term as a 655 to the record.<\/p>\n<p>We propose to you, our clients, four options for how to handle these subdivision changes:<br \/>\n1 &#8211; follow LC policy and make the changes as described<\/p>\n<p>2 &#8211; change the affected map subdivisions to just Map but don&#8217;t add the 655<\/p>\n<p>3 &#8211; don&#8217;t change the map subdivisions and let them be counter to LC policy<\/p>\n<p>4 &#8211; If none of the above options work, please contact us and we will customize a solution that will work for you.<\/p>\n<p>If we make the changes as described, only LC 650 and 651 (2nd indicator \u20180\u2019) fields will be affected.\u00a0 Also, this would only affect $v, changing the found term (below, left) to \u201cMaps\u201d and adding a 655 $a with the corresponding term (below, right):<\/p>\n<p>Bathymetric
