<p class="MsoNormal">After receiving the new and revised subject authority records from the Library of Congress on November 30, OCLC has been working to change the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) within WorldCat records to the new forms. The previous
heading <i>Aliens </i>changed to <i>Noncitizens</i>. The former heading <i>Illegal aliens</i> became both
<i>Noncitizens</i> and <i>Illegal immigration. </i>A number of related headings also changed including (but not limited to) the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:2.5pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"><i>Children of illegal aliens
</i>became both<i> Children of noncitizens </i>and<i> Illegal immigration </i><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:2.5pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"><i>Illegal alien children
</i>became both <i>Noncitizen children </i>and <i>Illegal immigration</i> <o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:2.5pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"><i>Illegal aliens in literature
</i>became both <i>Noncitizens in literature</i> and <i>Illegal immigration in literature</i><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:2.5pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"><i>Women illegal aliens
</i>became both<i> Women noncitizens </i>and<i> Illegal immigration</i><o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">Altogether, OCLC has updated approximately 41,000 WorldCat records to change these headings. In the future on a periodic basis OCLC will continue to change the older headings to the newer forms when they appear in WorldCat records. FAST
headings will be changed in a subsequent process. <o:p></o:p></p>
