Title

Ethno-linguistic misrepresentations of the Alaskan Native languages as mirrored in the Library of Congress system of cataloging and classification

Source

Cataloging and classification quarterly. 7(1987) no.3, S.69-90

Abstract

This study evaluates the classification patterns established by the Library of Congress for the "Hyperborean languages of America and the kindred languages of Asia." The current analysis examines the treatment, bibliographic access, and retrieval limitations in the current LC classification system as applied to the Alaska Native languages. In addition, it offers a tested, applicable, and LC-compatible resolution for the numerous difficulties associated with applying the LC (PM) classification schedule to the Alaska Native languages. In view of the importance of these languages to Alaska, the development of such a resolution was indeed mandatory.
