Tēnā tātou As you may have noticed, the former Library of Congress subject heading ‘Illegal aliens’ has now been replaced by two new terms ‘Noncitizens<https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85003545.html>’ and ‘Illegal immigration’<https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2016000739.html>. There have also been changes to several related terms. The term ‘Children of illegal aliens’ has been replaced by ‘Children of noncitizens’<https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2016000741.html> and ‘Illegal immigration’<https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2016000739.html> while ‘Women illegal aliens’ has been replaced by ‘Women noncitizens’<https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2016000740.html> and ‘Illegal immigration’<https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2016000739.html>. Likewise, ‘Illegal aliens in literature’ has been replaced by ‘Noncitizens in literature’<https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2016000795.html> and ‘Illegal immigration in literature’<Illegal%20immigration%20in%20literature’>. The former term ‘Aliens’ has now been replaced by ‘Noncitizens<https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85003545.html>’. At the National Library of New Zealand, we have been changing terms in our bibliographic records to match the new authorised terms.
