news-lib-berkeley-edu-3763		‘Words matter’: Why the UC Berkeley Library is embracing another term for ‘illegal aliens’ | UC Berkeley Library News			.html	text/html	1707	109	63	After a hard-fought (and ultimately unsuccessful) war of the words started by students at Dartmouth College, which would have changed subject headings used by libraries across the country, the UC Berkeley Library saw an opportunity to act. "A keyword search, which a lot of students might think to do first, will maybe bring up something from the title, the author, something like that," says Jean Dickinson, the Library's Slavic cataloger, who serves on the Library's cataloging and metadata group that developed the proposal to introduce the new subject headings. And its long list of subject headings — from "Absentee voting" to "Zydeco music" — serves as the authoritative standard for catalogers in libraries across the country, including at UC Berkeley. "That's kind of the beauty of it," says Susan Edwards, social welfare librarian and head of the Library's Social Sciences Division, who started the effort to adopt alternatives to the "Illegal aliens" heading at Berkeley.	./cache/news-lib-berkeley-edu-3763.html	./txt/news-lib-berkeley-edu-3763.txt
