Hi Richard,

Just to clarify –

The PCC doesn’t “own” LCSH.

LCSH is a Library of Congress publication/product to which PCC members can contribute through the SACO Program.

It’s a very interesting legal question, because as I understand it, LCSH is “owned” not by the Library of Congress but by the Program for Co-operative Cataloging. Albeit LC take the editorial decisions ;-)

Regards
Richard
