Newsflash! Subject Headings not boring!: Cataloguing… just try dropping that word in a conversation and watch people’s eyes glaze over with boredom, or even worse, complete and utter indifference. But just because John Q. Public may not appreciate the beauty of Library of Congress Subject Headings doesn’t mean we should fret too much. After all, if no one is watching the librarians we can do whatever we want.
Although the vast majority of headings in the LCSH are painfully boring and uniform, clearly someone at the Library of Congress has a sense of humour, and is taking advantage of the fact that no one is watching… hence this list of weird and wacky subject headings submitted by the students of GLIS.
