Information on subscribing to the Fiction Listserv

About GSAFD:

GSAFD is an unmoderated discussion list for those interested in providing subject access to individual works of fiction in library databases and catalogs. Discussion focuses on theoretical and practical problems in assigning topical, character, setting and genre headings to individual works of fiction, drama, etc.

The list also serves as a means of communication for members of the OCLC/LC Fiction Project and those engaged in revising the Guidelines on Subject Access to Individual Works of Fiction, Drama, Etc. (Chicago : American Library Association, 1990 (ISBN 0-8389-3386-6)).

The list is named for the USMARC code "gsafd" used in the 655 second indicator 7, subfield 2 to identify the "Guidelines" mentioned above as the source of the genre heading used in that field.

Only subscribers may post directly to the list.
