Title

¬The dynamic Caribbean : a challenge for the Library of Congress

Source

Cataloging and classification quarterly. 32(2001) no.1, S.29-38

Abstract

The Caribbean, since its discovery by Spain, has been a dynamic economic, political, and geographical environment. This is due, in the main, to the European powers who settled the area, and to the recent clamor of the Caribbean peoples for independence. Changes in domination resulted in differing nomenclature and regional boundaries. This article analyzes these discrepancies and relates them to the Library of Congress classification schedules and to headings in the Library of Congress authority file. It is clear that the schedules and headings are in need of revision.
