<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#1F497D">It would be best to record demographic information as an attribute of the person rather than as an attribute of a WEMI entity. I know our current OPACs are primitive and don’t allow
us to search for items based on characteristics of their creators; but surely this will be possible soon (or in my lifetime).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am writing to see if any of you have been applying LC demographic terms or LCSH to the MARC 386 field.

<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.loc.gov_marc_bibliographic_bd386.html&d=AwMFAg&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=t7GDkvcZa922K6iya7a6MxgVxxw7OjL0m1rPBXkflk4&m=m4nopZiGHvzmhME1cWTrPJ_9-d6euY-SIopP8sh5oKo&s=Kmq9t6Zum8XA-bcdyGiYrUfgAb4FymEt1admevygyAY&e=">http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd386.html</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Of note is the use of these fields specifically for works or expressions but not manifestations. I think it would be incredibly useful for manifestation level description. For example, we will be cataloging a collection of bindings by
women in the near future and could foresee using the 386. Does anyone know why these terms were limited to describing works and expressions?
