Wouldn't the field of activity for a woman's bookstore be: 372 Booksellers and bookselling $2 lcsh or maybe 372 Booksellers and bookselling $a Women--Books and reading $2 lcsh or this works better using AAT: 372 Bookselling $2 aat 372 Women--Books and reading $2 lcsh I wouldn't assume that women's bookstores are for lesbians only. Adam Schiff University of Washington Libraries From: Program for Cooperative Cataloging [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Shorten, Jay Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2017 1:33 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: 372 question for women's bookstore The definition of 372, with regards to corporate bodies is "For a corporate body: a field of business in which the corporate body is engaged, its area of competence, responsibility, jurisdiction, etc.". Would "Lesbian community" fall within these parameters? Or even "Women"? It's not a field of business or jurisdiction or even the business' reponsibility, and I can't see how a community would be an area of competence. Perhaps "Feminism", "Lesbian feminism", or "Lesbianism" would be appropriate terms in the 372? They are at least "areas of competence".
