[Wactclc-alma] [EXTERNAL*]- Offensive Language and Library of Congress Subject Headings

[Elena Bianco]

Hi Traci:

So far we've only tackled the "illegal aliens" heading. I created a normalization rule changing it out, and have it run with our import profiles for OCLC, ebooks, etc. However, it doesn't always work for new electronic materials if I don't actively import them (like things activated in CZ). I probably could run a job to apply tht rule to those materials, but it's a bit of a challenge to keep on top of that...

Let me know and I'd be happy to share the normalization rule I created for that.

Good Morning All,

I have started looking at offensive subject headings and replacements. Has anyone else been doing this work in Alma/Primo? If so, what offensive LCSHs have you replaced?

Thanks,
Traci
