The following presentations were made
at the open meeting of the Subcommittee on February 26, 2000 at the annual meeting in
Louisville, Kentucky:
A Non-LC Approach to Finding
Recordings of World Music (Leslie Troutman, University of Illinois--Champaign-Urbana)

Subject Metadata in the Metadata
Record (Lois Mai Chan, University of Kentucky)
The Subcommittee continues to look
into the feasibility of constructing a user study on subject access to music and is
exploring the possibility of suggesting a working group be established. Work also proceeds on headings for folk songs and
problems and inconsistencies in their cross references.
We may focus on issues involving languages. The
earlier technical reports by Judith Kaufman on subject access to non-Western music are
being examined for guidance. We are also
exploring the sponsorship of a SACO workshop to be held as a pre-conference to an annual
meeting.
Committee members Dan Cherubin and
Mark Germer rotated off and their significant contributions to the work of the committee
were recognized.
As MLA liaison, Michael Colby attended
the ALA/ALCTS Subject Analysis Committee meetings in January and July of 2000.
