Hi Robert,
Sorry to respond so late. It seems like you are all set to run your proposal by Adam and then enter it into Minaret via Classification Web. But just FYI, yes, we define anthropology and sociology in the broadest of ways, so an s.h. about education would be within our scope. If I can help in any way in the future, just let me know.
Peace,
Isabel

Thank you, Isabel.  Does your group construe sociology broadly enough to include education?  If not, are you aware of a corresponding section that covers education and offers the same assistance?

Subject: Re: [PCCLIST] Proposing new LC Subject Heading

Hi all,
At the risk of being inundated with requests, I want to also point out that the ACRL, Anthropology and Sociology Section, Subject and Bibliographic Access Committee, will propose subject headings for our constituency. The website is here: https://anssacrl.wordpress.com/committees/subject-bibliographic/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__anssacrl.wordpress.com_committees_subject-2Dbibliographic_&d=CwMGaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=5K8UVMPTDT666EDPSJhk9T8hYUHmjR6-6JJG9zGX91w&m=vXO7NrrC7TlrVdDRyxAqAWtRbCQfz5zFPARZe4H0Lv0&s=iqRy1zvTguw8uW8wp3EGMK1H0dQSHYDOVDshv0lZrgc&e=>

Although there is not a form on the website, there is a list of current members, and, if you contact one of the members (I’m one for example), we will work with you on your subject proposal, and submit it if it meets LCs requirements. We are open to doing this for the larger anthropology/sociology community, but these subject areas are quite broad, so many subject headings could fit our scope.

A word of warning – the subject proposal process can be laborious, and take several months. However, LC is very clear in their instructions, and, if they reject a proposal, they will always give us feedback, so that we have a better understanding of the process.

I hope this helps,
Isabel

Subject: Re: [PCCLIST] Proposing new LC Subject Heading


From the FAQ about joining SACO:



What options do I have if I have need of a subject heading and my institution decides not to become an institutional member?
A cataloger from a non-PCC participating institution who needs a subject heading not available in LCSH or an LC classification number not found in the LC schedules now has the following options available for sending forward a proposal to SACO. 1) Contact a nearby institution that is currently a PCC member and request to submit your new proposal through their contribution mechanism. The second alternative is for your institution to 2) explore entering into a SACO funnel cooperative project and make contributions through an active subject funnel. See the response to SACO funnel question #12 below.
Is there a list of institutions which can be contacted in my own region for mentoring?
Yes, the SACO program has developed a cadre of PCC members who have been designated and trained as SACO mentors. The SACO Mentors<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.loc.gov_aba_pcc_saco_SACOMentors.html&d=CwMFAg&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=5K8UVMPTDT666EDPSJhk9T8hYUHmjR6-6JJG9zGX91w&m=pK3kaSr5sw2-yCkfx8ly4IH0rfH9_fkVXQJWWl9yfQY&s=pq11wRpkmP6BCvJuTUJm0djARmVDEJBfWPqcqWJS18Y&e=> Home Page provides a complete roster and the geographic region for which each SACO Mentor is responsible. In addition, each of the BIBCO liaisons<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.loc.gov_catdir_pcc_bibco_bibcoliaisons.html&d=CwMFAg&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=5K8UVMPTDT666EDPSJhk9T8hYUHmjR6-6JJG9zGX91w&m=pK3kaSr5sw2-yCkfx8ly4IH0rfH9_fkVXQJWWl9yfQY&s=0Hx1QCmkif_CtdKLlitFkCNrzan3WduvI2d3gnYEMpc&e=> should be able to offer assistance in providing guidance for submitting subject proposals.

If you are already a PCC library for any of the other programs, you are automatically a SACO member and may submit proposals using the online proposal system:



Who can join SACO?
Any institution that participates as an independent contributor to one of the other PCC component programs is automatically considered to be a SACO member and does NOT need to submit a formal SACO application. SACO participation has become an institution-based program. To further clarify eligibility, institutions participating in NACO funnels are required to submit a completed SACO membership application and appoint an institutional SACO liaison, much as NACO membership requires. Any institution is eligible to become a full-fledged SACO member. To enjoy full SACO membership please submit the SACO membership application<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.loc.gov_aba_pcc_saco_sacoappl.html&d=CwMFAg&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=5K8UVMPTDT666EDPSJhk9T8hYUHmjR6-6JJG9zGX91w&m=pK3kaSr5sw2-yCkfx8ly4IH0rfH9_fkVXQJWWl9yfQY&s=c533UbOjlAsxlV4tTIk4p-msiydY-pZpzaCTa2h2QRc&e=>.

Subject: Proposing new LC Subject Heading

What is the procedure for someone whose library isn’t a SACO participant to propose a new LC Subject Heading?  I’ve looked through many LC pages and haven’t come across anything helpful.

Thank you.
