Kia ora koutou Ngā mihi o Hineraumati ki a koutou! (Summer greetings). Forwarding this post on, as it may be of interest to libraries with zine collections, or when describing resources where LCSH terms seem inadequate. Nāku noa nā Catherine -----Original Message----- From: Radical Cataloging On Behalf Of Violet Fox Sent: Friday, December 15, 2023 6:58 AM To: RADCAT@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU Subject: Anchor Archive Zine Thesaurus: an alternative to LCSH If you've ever been frustrated by LCSH, consider taking a look at the Anchor Archive Zine Thesaurus: https://anchorarchive.org/subject-thesaurus/ As of this month, the thesaurus now has a MARC code for use in a 650 _7 subfield 2 (zst); see that announcement at: https://loc.gov/marc/relators/tn231205src.html The Zine Subject Thesaurus is a general vocabulary that's not just for zines—it might come in handy for other radical resources in your collections, or for terms where LCSH seems out-of-date or particularly conservative. A group of volunteer librarians recently reviewed the entire vocabulary to improve consistency in hierarchical structure and terminology. Please share the word and let me know if you have any questions! Thanks, Violet
