[Reforma_or] California State University Libraries subject heading change

[Eduardo Arizaga]

Hi,

I wanted to pass along the following information that was released by the
California State Universities Libraries Network on Tuesday, 12/2/19
<http://libraries.calstate.edu/csu-libraries-change-subject-heading-illegal-aliens/>
.

The California State University Libraries are moving to change the display
of the subject heading “Illegal Aliens” in the Unified Library Management
System (ULMS) shared by the CSU Libraries.

All instances of the subject heading “aliens” will be remapped to display
“noncitizens,” and the subject heading “illegal aliens” will be remapped to
display “undocumented immigrants.” The older terms will continue to be
searchable, but the new terms will be used in all public records. This
change will go into effect in January 2020.

More information is in the linked article.

Best
