Topical subjects in art and in literatureLC has made some significant, but slightly confusing, changes to the way subject headings are constructed to bring out the treatment of a given topic in literature and in art. Previously the free-floating phrase in art and in literature could be attached to any valid heading to form a topical subject heading (i.e., 650); that is no longer the case. There are now two separate classes of such headings, each with its own idiosyncrasies: Topical subjects in art/in literature (650) Every separate heading "[topic] in art" or "[topic] in
literature" must have a subject authority record since the phrase
...in art/...in literature is no longer free-floating. If you need a heading
for ... in art or ... in literature which is not established, consider
SACOing the heading--this is the simplest type of SACO assuming that the
topic is already established.
