At the 2000 Annual Meeting, CC:DA was presented with a discussion paper, CC:DA/Attig/2000/1 (http://www.ala.org/alcts/organization/ccs/ccda/attig1.pdf). Section D of that paper presented some options for including provisions in AACR2 for uniform resource identifiers. CC:DA did not have enough time to discuss the paper and the options presented, and decided to continue the discussion at a later time. At the 2001 Midwinter Meeting, the topic of uniform resource identifiers and AACR2 was again raised, and CC:DA voted to form a task force to examine the issue. This task force was formed following the 2001 Midwinter Meeting and a charge was officially issued on March 8, 2001. The charge included five components:

Abstract Bibliographic records can include information from controlled vocabularies to capture identities about individuals, especially about authors or intended audiences; personal name authority records can also contain information about identity. Employing a systematic analysis of the overlap of the Homosaurus, Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), and Library of Congress Demographic Group Terms (LCDGT), this article explores the extent to which LGBTQ+ identities are represented in the three vocabularies. Despite LCSH’s long, iterative history of development and the faceted, post-coordinate nature of LCDGT, neither vocabulary was found to be adequate in covering the complex, LGBTQ+ identities represented in the Homosaurus.

ABSTRACt Full-text digital libraries (DL) like the HathiTrust open new analytic opportunities for digital humanists and those studying language-specific corpora such as late imperial Chinese books. These analyses rely on DL metadata records to contextualize and validate findings. However, historic Anglo-American cataloging practices introduce difficulties. Our comparative case study of HathiTrust MARC records for Chinese (1,534), English (25,866), and German (7,872) books (the 1500s–1700s) reveals significant problems: data spread across fields; essential data lacunae; lack of normalization; and information transcribed from sources without translation nor explanation. Cataloging practices need updating to support scholars working with Chinese and other Asian materials.
