GENERAL MACAU (CHINA : SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION) A statement on the policies relative to the change in status of Macau is available on the Cataloging Policy and Support Office’s home page at URL <http://lcweb.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/macau.html>. SUBJECT CATALOGING SUBDIVISION SIMPLIFICATION PROGRESS Since the Subject Subdivisions Conference took place at Airlie House, Virginia, in May 1991, progress continues to be made in simplifying subdivisions in the Library of Congress Subject Headings system. On Weekly Lists 99-43 to 99-52, changes were made in the following areas: Recommendation #1. Toward achieving the recommended standard order of [topic]—[place]—[chronology]—[form] where it can be applied in LC subject heading strings, new topical subdivisions for which geographic orientation is possible are established with the designation (May Subd Geog). On a case-by-case basis, subdivisions not previously divided by place are authorized for geographic subdivision. Five subdivisions were authorized for geographic subdivision during this period, including one free-floating subdivision listed below. Recommendation #6. During the fourth quarter of 1999, progress in simplying subdivisions was made in the following areas: 1) Cancellation of subdivisions that represent the same or similar concepts in different forms. Two subdivisions were replaced with standard free-floating subdivisions. The subdivision —Psychology was cancelled under the heading Music and replaced with the form generally used under topical headings: —Psychological aspects. The subdivision —Equipment, which had been established under the heading Mars (Planet)—Exploration, was replaced with —Equipment and supplies. Two subdivision combinations were split into their topical and form aspects. The subdivision —Bibliography—First editions, which had been authorized for free-floating use under names of individual authors and literatures, was replaced by the subdivisions —First editions and —First editions—Bibliography. The former subdivision is to be used for works about first editions of those authors and literatures and the latter for lists of first editions. The subdivision —Bibliography—First issues, which was established under the heading English periodicals, was cancelled and replaced with the subdivisions —First issues and —First issues—Bibliography. 2) Phrase headings replaced with subdivisions. The phrase headings Woman (Theology), Woman (Buddhism), Woman (Christian theology), and Woman (Mormon theology) were cancelled and replaced with the subdivisions —Religious aspects, —Religious aspects—Buddhism, —Religious aspects—Christianity, and —Religious aspects—Mormon Church established under the heading Women. The subdivision —Religious aspects—[religion or denomination] is the preferred means of expressing the religious aspects of a non-religious topic from the viewpoint of an individual religion or Christian denomination. 3) Subdivisions no longer needed. The subdivision —Doctrines—Introductions, which was authorized for free-floating use under headings for religions, was cancelled and replaced with the subdivision —Doctrines. The following changes to existing free floating subdivisions took place during the fourth quarter of 1999. 2 Cataloging Service Bulletin, No. 88 (Spring 2000) CHANGED OR CANCELLED FREE-FLOATING SUBDIVISIONS WL99-42 - WL99-52 Subdivision List in SCM Change or replacement —Bibliography—First editions H 1110 —First editions H 1110 —First editions— Bibliography H 1156 —First editions H 1156 —First editions—Bibliography —Doctrines—Introductions H 1185 —Doctrines —Ownership H 1153 ADD: (May Subd Geog) SUBJECT HEADINGS OF CURRENT INTEREST Weekly Lists 45-52, 1999 and 1-4, 2000 Air traffic control clearances (May Subd Geog) Alligator attacks (May Subd Geog) Aperitifs (May Subd Geog) Arts and crafts gardens (May Subd Geog) Bachelorette parties (May Subd Geog) Beanie Buddies (Trademark) Bedtime prayers (May Subd Geog) Best friends (May Subd Geog) Birth charts (May Subd Geog) Bronc riding (May Subd Geog) Canyoneering (May Subd Geog) Children of ex-Jews (May Subd Geog) Cockpit voice recorders (May Subd Geog) Cold-tolerant plants (May Subd Geog) Computer users (May Subd Geog) Computers and the visually handicapped (May Subd Geog) Crash sensors (May Subd Geog) Dairy substitutes (May Subd Geog) Day trading (Securities) (May Subd Geog) Doll hospitals (May Subd Geog) Energy labeling (May Subd Geog) Ex-Jews (May Subd Geog) Expatriate sculptors (May Subd Geog) Exploitation films (May Subd Geog) Football stadiums (May Subd Geog) Gay motorcycle clubs (May Subd Geog) Gay erotica (May Subd Geog) Gay erotic videos (May Subd Geog) Geeks (Computer enthusiasts) (May Subd Geog) Government aid to the arts (May Subd Geog) Hockey for girls (May Subd Geog) Home-based mental health services (May Subd Geog) HTML editors (Computer programs) Humanitarian law (May Subd Geog) Imaginary biography Intergenerational communication (May Subd Geog) Internet auctions (May Subd Geog) Internet bookstores (May Subd Geog) Jewish renewal (May Subd Geog) Lesbian erotica (May Subd Geog) Library users (May Subd Geog) Living wage movement (May Subd Geog) Loss control (May Subd Geog) Low budget television programs (May Subd Geog) Modern movement (Architecture) (May Subd Geog) Motorcycle clubs (May Subd Geog) MP3 players (May Subd Geog) Rat attacks (May Subd Geog) Roadside restaurants (May Subd Geog) Salsa (Dance) (May Subd Geog) Cataloging Service Bulletin, no. 88 (Spring 2000) 3 Sleeping bags (May Subd Geog) Strudel (May Subd Geog) Tabletop hockey (Game) (May Subd Geog) Thematic maps (May Subd Geog) Unemployed youth (May Subd Geog) Web databases (May Subd Geog) Whiskers (May Subd Geog) REVISED LC SUBJECT HEADINGS The list below comprises headings that were changed or cancelled on weekly lists 43-52, 1999.

We hope you find this report useful. The Forum will be releasing its next full report in 2017. Katherine K. Wallman, Chief Statistician, Office of Management and Budget Introduction Each year since 1997, the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics has published a report on the well-being of children and families. The Forum fosters coordination and collaboration among 23 federal agencies that produce or use statistical data on children and families, and seeks to improve federal data on children and families. The America’s Children series provides accessible compendiums of indicators drawn across topics from the most reliable official statistics; it is designed to complement other more specialized, technical, or comprehensive reports produced by various Forum agencies. The America’s Children series makes Federal data on children and families available in a nontechnical, easy-to-use format in order to stimulate discussion among data providers, policymakers, and the public. Pending data availability, the Forum updates all 41 indicators annually on its website (http://childstats. gov) and alternates publishing a detailed report, America’s Children: Key National Indicators of Well-Being, with a summary version, America’s Children in Brief, which highlights selected indicators.

  • Copyright in an Era of Information Overload: Toward the Privileging of Categorizers
    Brooklyn Law School BrooklynWorks Faculty Scholarship 1-2007 Copyright in an Era of Information Overload: Toward the Privileging of Categorizers Frank Pasquale Follow this and additional works at: https://brooklynworks.brooklaw.edu/faculty Part of the Science and Technology Law Commons Copyright in an Era of Information Overload: Toward the Privileging of Categorizers Frank Pasquale 60 Vand. L. Rev. 135 (2007) Environmental laws are designed to reduce negative externalities (such as pollution) that harm the natural world. Copyright law should adjust the rights of content creators in order to compensate for the ways they reduce the usefulness of the information environment as a whole. Every new work created contributes to the store of expression, but also makes it more difficult to find whatever work one wants. "Search costs" have been well- documented in information economics and addressed by trademark law. Copyright law should take information overload externalities like search costs into account in its treatment of alleged copyright infringers whose work merely attempts to index, organize, categorize, or review works by providing small samples of them. These categorizers are not "'free riding" off the labor of copyright holders. Rather, they are creating the navigational tools and filters that help consumers make sense of the ocean of expression copyright holders have created. The new scholarship of cultural environmentalism lays the groundwork for a better understanding of the costs, as well as the benefits, of copyrighted expression. Any expression that signals something to one who wants exposure to it may constitute noise to thousands of others. By modeling information overload as an externality imposed by copyrighted works generally, this article attempts to provide a new economic justification for more favorable legal treatment of categorizers, indexers, and reviewers.

    TOO HIGH A PRICE: The Case TOO HIGH A PRICE: INTRODUCTION BY ROSIE O’DONNELL Against Restricting Gay Parenting In some places, gay men and lesbians cannot be parents. They can’t adopt kids, aren’t legally recognized as par- ents of children they raise, or are denied custody of their own kids. The Case Against Restricting Gay Parenting This book makes the comprehensive case against restricting gay parenting. TOO HIGH A PRICE Beginning with the story of Florida’s gay adoption ban – a case study in all the things that are wrong with par- THE CASE AGAINST enting restrictions – it broadens to cover the national landscape on gay parenting. The book describes the con- sensus among child welfare experts that restricting gay RESTRICTING GAY PARENTING parenting is bad for kids, summarizes the scientific stud- ies confirming that the children of lesbians and gay men are as happy and well adjusted as anyone, and explains why limits on gay parenting violate the Constitution. The book also provides a point-by-point refutation of the arguments for keeping gay people from being parents. “I don’t believe there’s a real debate to be had over whether gay people can be good parents – the only debate is whether to put bias before children’s future. This books lays out the reasons that restricting gay par- enting is bad for children and bad for all of us. It’s our ACLU job to take this information and use it.” – Rosie O’Donnell, in her moving introduction ACLU LESBIAN & GAY RIGHTS PROJECT TOO HIGH A PRICE: The Case Against Restricting Gay Parenting By the ACLU Lesbian & Gay Rights Project Written by Eric Ferrero, Joshua Freker, and Travis Foster With Matt Coles, Leslie Cooper, and James Esseks Research assistance from Cynthia Golembeski and Beth George Copyright © 2005 by American Civil Liberties Union All rights reserved Printed in the United States of America Design by Sara Glover “Too High A Price” was produced by the Lesbian & Gay Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union.
