Jonathan, hi and thanks, 1. I believe id.loc.gov includes a list of MARC countries and a list for geographic areas (based on the geographic names in 151 fields. 2. cataloging rules instruct catalogers to use THOSE very name forms in 151 $a when a subject can be divided (limited) geographically using $z. 3. Not all subjects which can be divided geographically will have the geographical subdivision immediately after the subject. There could be 2 different sequences: 650 $a Picket lines $z Ohio 650 $a Picket Lines $x Economical aspects $z Ohio (where/when does the geographical subdivision follow immediately or not $a is part of the rules LC catalogers observe to the dot). There could be also two geographical subdivisions following each other 650 $a Picket lines $zOhio $z Columbus Oh yeah, these record elements could be used powerfully for our users. *Ya'aqov* *On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 11:29 AM, Jonathan Rochkind <[log in to unmask]>wrote: * > > *On 4/7/2011 10:46 AM, Houghton,Andrew wrote: > * >> >> * to go to the name authority record 150 England with LCCN n82068148. >> Currently under id.loc.gov you will not find name authority records, >> * > > * > * > * If this would change, so name authority record elements used in 6xx > subject cataloging were in id.loc.gov, it would make powerful use of > id.loc.gov much more feasible. > > Is there anyone at LC this suggestion/request could be sent to, possibly en > masse?
