"Why would --Drama and --Juvenile drama mean different things, other than
intellectual level? Why would any subject heading/subdivision cover fiction
and nonfiction?"
The flip answer might be: Literary warrant. (?)
However, I echo John's concerns about this. The way the rules read now, the
video Barney's Birthday Party and a children's documentary about dinosaurs
get the same LCSH string: Dinosaurs--Juvenile films. I didn't think that
looked right, so I asked CPSO about it a few years ago and they replied that
this subject string is correct for both programs.
