In February, 2009, the Policy and Standards Division (PSD) of the Library of Congress announced the beginning the genre/form project for cartographic materials. As with the previous projects, PSD is reexamining current subject headings and subdivisions to determine whether any changes should be made to their structure and/or to the ways that they are assigned.

PSD is requesting input from the library community regarding a possible change to the structure of most of the form subdivisions in the area of cartography. Provided below is a discussion of the current subdivision structure; the impact that the genre/form project will have on cataloging and resource discovery; and a solution to ameliorate the negative impacts. Comments on PSD’s proposed solution will be accepted through August 10, 2009.
