Resources for Suggesting Changes to Subject Headings
Berman's 1971 book and subsequent updates highlight the fact that his list is "circumscribed by time, available resources, and the author's own blindspots," but he provides a "Do It Yourself" list of suggested updates that librarians can sign and submit to the Library of Congress (Berman, 1971, p. 187).
In recent years, the Library of Congress has also made it even easier to submit suggested changes for Library of Congress Subject Headings. Each subject heading entry in the Linked Data Service also contains a tab for suggestions to that heading.
In addition, Library of Congress Subject Headings are constantly under review and change. The Cataloging and Acquisitions department of the Library publishes weekly lists of changes, updates, or removals, which can be found on the Library of Congress Subject Headings Approved Lists.
