New and revised subject headings

The headings for African Americans have been updated. This revision entailed changing a number of occurrences of Afro-American … to African American … The opportunity was taken to rationalise some reference structures, in particular removing a number of references containing the words 'Negro' and 'Black'.

Headings marked with an asterisk in the following list are existing allowed headings which have been updated with changes to references or notes. New headings are marked as N. Headings which were USE references in SCIS Subject Headings Fifth Edition but are now headings in their own right are marked as A. Previously allowed headings which have become USE references are marked as U. Deleted headings are marked as D.

For full details of these headings, see the SCIS website at http://www.curriculum.edu.au/scis/productinfo/supplists.htm
