Transforming Subjects: Solving a Terminology Problem
Conference or Developers' Day
Conference (20 minutes + 5 min Q/A)
Session Abstract
In 2016, the Library of Congress decided to revise the subject heading “Illegal aliens.” The House of Representatives objected and ordered LC to continue using “Illegal aliens.” This was the first time a chamber of Congress had intervened over an LC decision regarding subject headings.
In fall 2019, the California State University Libraries considered options to address this terminology problem. This session will present the issues and describe the solution implemented. The CSU Libraries are on Primo Back Office. The WorldCat master bibliographic record is the default record in the shared catalog (Network Zone) in Alma. The solution intentionally does not make changes to the shared record. Instead, it relies on transformation routines applied during Primo normalization. These transformation routines were applied to the normalization rules in the display, facets, search, and browse PNX sections to address this terminology problem.
Options for Primo VE will also be shared.
