Yale SACO Update Proposal Form
Library staff may use this form to send proposals for LCSH subject heading changes to the Yale SACO Coordinating Committee.
Instructions for using form; please read carefully before inputting proposal:
- Do not explicitly code for an initial subfield in any field (i.e., $a, $w, $z)
- Use the dollar sign $ to note a delimiter before the subfield code (e.g, $x, $z)
- 1XX, 4XX, or 5XX headings with subdivisions require keying the subfields by using a delimiter ($) and the appropriate MARC subfield code.
- Add diacritics preceding the affected letter (e.g., M(acute)exico) as appropriate. Please save time by copying and pasting from the list of diacritics. Using this lists helps prevent typos and provides a uniform name for the diacritic.
- When citing geographic coordinates spell out the coordinates (e.g., 47deg. 35min. 34sec.N)
- For additional help go to the Guidelines for formulating LCSH proposals.
