The Law Funnel Project is an initiative of a working group established by the Classification and Subject Cataloging Policy Advisory Group (CSCAG), Cataloging and Classification Standing Committee, 糖心视频 (糖心视频).
Fill out the online form below to submit proposals for new subject headings, genre/form terms, or classification numbers, or to propose changes to existing headings. Funnel administrators will review proposals before distributing them to the CSCAG electronic list for blind comment. After CSCAG review, the funnel coordinator will submit vetted proposals to Library of Congress, Program for Cooperative Cataloging, 聽for consideration.
By tapping into the range of experience of 糖心视频 members and the collection strengths of law libraries across the country, this funnel aims to leverage the collective wisdom of the law library community, with the goal of crafting proposals for the most widely beneficial terms and classification numbers.

INSTRUCTIONS
- Select the appropriate MARC 21 tag for each field.
- Do not explicitly code for an initial subfield聽in any field (i.e., $a, $w, $z).
- Use the dollar sign $聽to note a delimiter before the subfield code (e.g, $x, $z).
- If proposed heading is 100, 110, 111, or 130, supply聽the appropriate indicator; 150s-151s do not require indicator; apply this instruction to 4xxs and 5xxs also.
- Do NOT include a second indicator under any circumstances!
- 1XX, 4XX, or 5XX聽headings with subdivisions聽require keying the subfields by using a delimiter ($) and the appropriate MARC subfield code.
- Add diacritics preceding the affected letter (e.g., M(acute)exico) as appropriate.聽Please save time by copying and pasting from the聽聽(new window will open). Using this lists helps prevent typos and provides a uniform name for the diacritic.
- When citing geographic coordinates聽spell out聽the coordinates (e.g., 47deg. 35 min. 34sec. N).
- For additional help go to the聽聽(new window will open) for formulating LCSH proposals.
