Subjective

I met with Mary to discuss using the Quaker Subject Headings list; developed jointly by Haverford College, the Swarthmore College Peace Collection, and the American Friends Service Committee. The list is based on LCSH: Headings that are allowed in LC are listed as 150s; when more specification (i.e., free-floating subdivisions) or different headings altogether are requred that are not allowed by LC, the heading is listed as a 190. The format of the list is kind of unwieldy; I said I would put the information into a spreadsheet and see what I could do about making it more readable for us.

Also! It looks like they’ll be going with the Surpass Online Backup. This means that, not only will all the files be safe, they’ll be able to access the collection from any computer on which the Surpass software is installed.
