This program will explore the new genre terms for literary works, how they are applied, and how this development could affect searching in library catalogs. We will also discuss new MARC fields that accommodate aspects of existing LCSH headings that are not genre (or, what happens to "Children" when "Children's poetry" becomes simply "Poetry"?) and the new LC vocabulary for demographic terms.
