-The Homosaurus vocabulary has been developed and maintained by virtue of multiple volunteers across the library world. Many institutions are now incorporating this vocabulary into new cataloging in order to give better description to their items where LCSAF and MeSH are unable to describe something in the current, preferred terminology. However, the issue of legacy data is still a problem, as there is not enough staff time to spend to manually assign subject terms. Backstage can assist with an automated crosswalk that was developed internally. The crosswalk will look for a list of terms that could appear in LCSH and will add the Homosaurus equivalent with a $2 homoit. You will have the option of retaining any original $v Juvenile form subdivision as well as opting out of adding the Homosaurus term when it perfectly duplicates LCSH.

-In recent years there has been a push to alter terminology to essentially "Decolonize" the catalog. The goal is to remove terms assigned by non-Indigenous peoples to represent them. This is a larger effort that many different institutions are working on but as a starting point, Backstage will change "Indians of ..." subject headings to "Indigenous peoples of ..." and the use of "Indians" in individual tribal/community names to "people". Special handling of the Indigenous populations of Alaska and Canada are also included. The use of Backstage's locally created authority file will facilitate these changes and you will receive a copy of the associated authority records.

-Some institutions find use in adding FAST headings when they are missing from a Bibliographic record. Some institutions are utilizing FAST as an additional faceted search option while others are moving towards an easier way to do subject analysis. Either way, often an automated approach is needed for addressing legacy items. Backstage has created a process that will take each LC term to add the appropriate FAST term (while retaining the original LC term).

	===Undocumented immigrants===		===Undocumented immigrants===
	Prior to LC's final decision to change "Illegal aliens" to "Noncitizens" plus "Illegal immigration" many institutions were opting to change "Illegal aliens" to "Undocumented immigrants". This local authority file will allow you to make this alternate change while still changing "Aliens" to "Noncitizens" as currently prescribed by LCSH.

		+	===Enslaved Persons===
		+	We are aware that there are efforts by the Library of Congress to begin addressing Enslaved Persons. Many of our clients, however, are still interested in making this change now. As such, as of November 2022 a new authority file for this term set is now available to begin making the change within your catalog. You can view the term list [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EXJLLEFb3UaOemigcffRngX15wf-GpVe8oADfukVqMg/edit#gid=0 here]
		+
		+	===Other potential changes===
		+	We're trying to keep our pulse on other sets of terms that institutions are looking at changing. We're slowly compiling that list that come in as 1) custom requests from our clients, or 2) appear on the cataloginglab.org website. You can find suggested changes [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GmZYYspaeVa46C7jlG3fklXh1FOjuQ3U0YEn6gqau6g/edit#gid=0 here]. PLEASE NOTE that we would consider these "custom" changes to your catalog so you can alter what the "Preferred term" is for these. Please download the spreadsheet, make your changes, and supply us with the updated spreadsheet.
