Cataloging Service Bulletin, no. 122 (Winter 2009) 15 22.3A. FULLNESS. [Rev.] * Headings Already Coded "AACR2" or "AACR2 Compatible"
If an established heading is already coded "AACR2" (including those labeled preliminary1)008 byte 33 = d) and subsequently received items show forms in the chief source that vary in fullness, generally do not change the established heading.
If an established heading is already coded "AACR2 compatible" because it varies in fullness from the AACR2 form, generally do not reconsider the heading.
Note: Occasionally the need arises to change a heading that has already been coded to reflect another form that varies solely in fullness. Two such exceptions to the basic policy of retaining the established heading are 1) the author has notified the Library of Congress that another form is preferred or 2) the National Library of Medicine has more works of a medical author in its collections that show a different form. Other exceptions should be carefully considered before making the change.
Variant Forms Within One Item
If the name of an author appears in two or more forms in one work, apply the following:
1) If the name appears in two or more sources, once in the chief source and one or more times in other sources, choose the form appearing in the chief source.
title page: T.B. Smith verso of t.p.: T. Basil Smith III heading: 100 1# $a Smith, T. B. $q (T. Basil)
2) If the name does not appear in the chief source but does appear once in another prominent source (cf. 0.8) and one or more times in other sources, choose the form appearing in the prominent source.

Sources
Apply the following for current place names:
1) For names in the United States, base the heading on the form found in the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), U.S. Geological Survey (United States Board on Geographic Names (BGN) domestic names system). GNIS may be accessed through the World Wide Web (http://geonames.usgs.gov/). A recent edition of the Rand McNally Commercial Atlas & Marketing Guide may also be used when access to the World Wide Web is not available.
2) For names in Australia, base the heading on the form found in the Geoscience Australia Gazetteer of Australia database (http://www.ga.gov.au/map/names/).
3) For names in Canada, use the heading provided by the Library andArchives Canada (LAC). Accept the LAC form, even if it differs from LC policy in such matters as abbreviations, diacritics, fullness, qualifiers, etc. Additional information on Canadian place names may also be found in Natural Resources Canada’s Canadian Geographical Names Data Base (http://geonames.nrcan.gc.ca/search/search_e.php).
4) For names in Great Britain, base the name on a recent edition of The Ordnance Survey gazetteer of Great Britain.Online access may be found at
5) For names in New Zealand, base the heading on the form found in Land Information New Zealand’s New Zealand Geographic Placenames Database (http://www.linz.govt.nz/placenames/find-names/index.aspx and * http://www.linz.govt.nz/placenames/find-names/macrons/index.aspx (New Zealand names with macrons)). * 6) For other names, base the heading on the form found in the work being cataloged together with a consideration of the form found on GNS (or an appropriate gazetteer if access to the World Wide Web is not available). In all cases, a gazetteer published within the last two years may also be used when access to the World Wide Web is not available.
English or Vernacular Forms
If BGN approves both a vernacular and an English form (called a conventional name in BGN terminology), use the English form.
For the following names, use the English form listed rather than the BGN-approved form:
Alma-Ata Ashkhabad Bavaria Bosnia and Hercegovina Brittany Bruges Burgundy Carinthia Crete Crimea
Cataloging Service Bulletin, no. 122 (Winter 2009) 17 Cuzco East Flanders Ghent Hesse Hokkaido Istanbul Jaffa Kyoto Louvain Lower Austria Lower Saxony Malacca Mantua Mexico City Navarre North Brabant North Holland North Rhine-Westphalia Nuremberg Osaka Padua Picardy Piraeus Rabat Rhineland-Palatinate Saint Gall Saxony Saxony-Anhalt Seville Sicily South Holland Styria Syracuse Tehran [instead of Teheran] Thuringia Turin Upper Austria West Flanders Zurich
Note: If a foreign name is established in an English form, use the same form if the name is used by more than one jurisdictional level or is used as part of another name, whenever the same name occurs at the beginning of the name.
151 ## $a Kyoto (Japan) 151 ## $a Kyoto (Japan : Prefecture) not 151 ## $a KyÇto-fu (Japan)
151 ## $a Cologne (Germany) 151 ## $a Cologne-Deutz (Cologne, Germany) not 151 ## $a Köln-Deutz (Cologne, Germany)
18 Cataloging Service Bulletin, No. 122 (Winter 2009) but 151 ## $a Garching bei München (Germany) not 151 ## $a Garching bei Munich (Germany)
Note: Before 1999, headings for the provinces and major cities of China were established in a conventionalized English-language form based on the Wade-Giles romanization system. After 1998, these geographic administrative areas of China are to be established in the BGN-approved pinyin form. Existing headings will be revised by LC on a project basis.
Modifications of the Name
1) Initial articles. Drop initial articles from the beginning of the entry element of geographic names in Arabic, Urdu, Hebrew, and Yiddish. Retain initial articles in other non-English geographic names when retention is supported by current gazetteers in the country's language. ("Non-English" is meant to include names in French, Spanish, etc., when these are used in the United States (e.g., Los Angeles) or other English-speaking countries.) Drop all other initial articles (e.g., drop "The" from "The Dalles").
2) Gazetteers. If the name is based on the form found in a recently published gazetteer, generally use in the heading the form found on the item being cataloged rather than a shortened form or unabbreviated form found in a gazetteer, unless 23.5A is applicable.
in source: Montgomery County gazetteer: Montgomery (GNIS: Montgomery County) heading: 151 ## $a Montgomery County (Md.)
However, for the English-language terms "Saint" or "St." and "Mount" or "Mt.," always use the spelled out form regardless of the item being cataloged or other evidence unless the name is for a place or jurisdiction within the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland, in which case the abbreviation "St." should be preferred to the spelled out form "Saint," or the name is for a place or jurisdiction in Canada, in which case the heading supplied by the National Library of Canada should be used. Make a reference from the form not used in the heading.
in source: St. Joseph gazetteer: Saint Joseph (GNIS: Saint Joseph) heading: 151 ## $a Saint Joseph (Mo.) 451 ## $a St. Joseph (Mo.)
but in source: St. Andrews gazetteer: St. Andrews heading: 151 ## $a St. Andrews (Scotland) 451 ## $a Saint Andrews (Scotland)
in source: St. John's NLC heading: St. John's (N.L..) heading: 151 ## $a St. John's (N.L.) 451 ## $a Saint John's (N.L.)
3) U.S. Board on Geographic Names. If BGN approves a romanized form that conflicts with LC's policy for the romanization of that language, use the LC form of romanization in the heading. If the BGN response indicates both a brief and a long form of the place name, generally select the long form as the heading, unless 23.5A is applicable.
Cataloging Service Bulletin, no. 122 (Winter 2009) 19 GNS: Borno State heading: 151 ## $a Borno State (Nigeria)
GNS: Coast Province heading: 151 ## $a Coast Province (Kenya)
GNS: Sulz am Neckar heading: 151 ## $a Sulz am Neckar (Germany)
GNS: Villefranche-sur-Mer heading: 151 ## $a Villefranche-sur-Mer (France)
GNS: Wimmera Shire heading: 151 ## $a Wimmera Shire (Vic.)
GNS: Kōra-chō heading: 151 ## $a KÇra-chÇ (Japan)
Note that in the case of conflicts, 23.4F1 mandates a preference for long forms found in sources (including BGN "variants"), rather than adding "an appropriate smaller place" within parentheses after the conflicting name.
GNS: Münster sources: Münster in Westfalen heading: 151 ## $a Münster in Westfalen (Germany) not 151 ## $a Münster (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany)
but GNS: Sundern sources: Sundern (Sauerland) heading: 151 ## $a Sundern (Hochsauerlandkreis, Germany)
4) Districts of India. In order to have consistent headings for the districts of India, establish all of them with the word "District" (or its equivalent in non-English) omitted. If the resulting heading conflicts, as in the case of the city's bearing the same name, add "District" as an element of the parenthetical qualifier (24.6).
5) U.S. Townships. For U.S. townships (called "towns" in some states) that encompass one or more local communities and the surrounding territory, do not include the term "township" or "town" as part of the name. Instead, add the term after the name of the state.
151 ## $a Kintire (Minn. : Township) (GNIS: Kintire, Township of)
151 ## $a Milo (Me. : Town) (GNIS: Milo, Town of)
These non-local jurisdictions are called "townships" in Arkansas, California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota; they are called "towns" in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin. If there is more than one township with the same name in the same state, apply LCRI 23.4F1.)
20 Cataloging Service Bulletin, No. 122 (Winter 2009) Note: For the period 1980-1990, the term "Township" or "Town" was added only if the name conflicted. Change existing headings for U.S. townships lacking the term "Township" or "Town" when the headings are needed for post-1990 cataloging.
Special Decisions
1) China. For all the governments that have controlled the mainland of China, use "China" for all periods except 1931-1945. For the government headquartered in Nanking, 1931-1937, and in Chungking, 1937-1945, use "China." For the government headquartered in Jui-chin, 1931-1937, use "China (Soviet Republic, 1931-1937)." For the government headquartered in Peking, 1937-1940, use "China (Provisional government, 1937-1940)." For the governments headquartered in Nanking, 1938-1945, use "China (Reformed government, 1938-1940)" for 1938-1940, and use "China (National government, 1940-1945)" for 1940-1945. For the post-1948 government on Taiwan, use "China (Republic : 1949- )." For the province of Taiwan, use "Taiwan."
2) Germany. For the Federal Republic of Germany, use "Germany (West)" for 1949-1990 and "Germany" after 1990. For the German Democratic Republic, use "Germany (East)."
3) Great Britain. For the United Kingdom, use "Great Britain."
4) Korea. For Korea until September 1945, including the Japanese occupation (1910-1945), use "Korea." For Nam Choso-n Kwado Cho-ngbu (South Korean Interim Government, 1947-1948), the American occupation government (1945-1948), and the Republic of Korea, use "Korea (South)." For the Soviet occupation government (1945-1948) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, use "Korea (North)."
5) London. In dealing with London, use the following headings:
a) Use "City of London (England)" for items from the 677-acre entity.
b) Use "Greater London Council" for items from the former entity bearing this name that had administrative control over the 32 London boroughs that made up "Greater London" (excluding the City of London). (The entity ceased April 1, 1986.)
c) Use "London (England)" as the qualifier added to corporate headings for a body located in the City of London or in an inner borough. Use "London (England)" also as the qualifier added to a corporate heading for a body located in an outer borough when the body is commonly associated with London rather than with the name of the particular outer borough. Otherwise, use the heading for the particular outer borough. (The inner London boroughs are Camden, Greenwich, Hackney, Hammersmith and Fulham, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Wandsworth, and the City of Westminster.)
6) Soviet Union. For the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, use "Soviet Union."
For the republics that constituted the Soviet Union, use the following headings:
Before 1992 After 1991
Armenian S.S.R. Armenia (Republic) Azerbaijan S.S.R. Azerbaijan Byelorussian S.S.R. Belarus Estonia Estonia
Cataloging Service Bulletin, no. 122 (Winter 2009) 21 Georgian S.S.R. Georgia (Republic) Kazakh S.S.R. Kazakhstan Kirghiz S.S.R. Kyrgyzstan Latvia Latvia Lithuania Lithuania Moldova (Before 1990: Moldavian S.S.R.) Moldova Russian S.F.S.R. Russia (Federation) Tajik S.S.R. Tajikistan Turkmen S.S.R. Turkmenistan Ukraine Ukraine Uzbek S.S.R. Uzbekistan
7) Washington, D.C. For Washington, D.C., use "District of Columbia" as the heading for the government of this name. Use "Washington (D.C.)" only as a location qualifier or as the entry element for cross references from place.

Classification and Shelflisting Manual 2008 Combines and updates the old Subject Cataloging Manual: Classification and Subject Cataloging Manual: Shelflisting in one convenient volume. This has been done as a service to catalogers because classification and shelflisting are such closely related processes.
The new publication provides guidelines for establishing Library of Congress classification numbers and assigning them to library materials, as well as for shelflisting materials collected by the Library of Congress. It’s an accumulation of guidelines that have been formulated over several decades dealing with commonly recurring questions that arise when using LC classification. In one volume, the manual combines and updates the guidelines for formulating the classification portion of the LC call number, formerly published separately as the Subject Cataloging Manual: Classification, and guidelines for formulating the unique book number portion of the call number, formerly published separately as the Subject CATALOGING DISTRIBUTION Cataloging Manual: Shelflisting.
