The Policy and Standards Division (PSD) of the Library of Congress
continues to develop genre/form headings on a discipline-by-discipline
basis, and will implement genre/form headings for cartographic resources
on September 1, 2010.
As a first step toward implementation, PSD approved approximately 65 new
cartographic genre/form headings on May 19, 2010. The second step will
occur on August 18, 2010, when revisions to the form subdivisions that
include the word “maps” will be approved.
On September 1, 2010 LC will implement cartographic genre/form headings
and the revised form subdivisions in new cataloging. PSD will work to
update existing bibliographic records to change the form subdivisions
and add genre/form headings, and expects to complete the process within
a year.
For the full announcement, please see

Further information on LC’s genre/form projects, including an extensive
FAQ, discussion papers, and announcements, may be found on the
genre/form web page,

comments may be directed to Janis L. Young, LC’s genre/form coordinator,
