<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The Prejudicial Materials Working Group of RBMS’s Controlled Vocabularies Editorial Group invites your feedback on approximately 50 proposed new and revised terms for the RBMS Controlled
Vocabulary for Rare Materials Cataloging (RBMS CVRMC). The </span><a href="https://www.ala.org/acrl/rbms/acr-rbmcveg"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1155CC">Controlled Vocabularies Editorial Group</span></a><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">RBMS CVRMC is a thesaurus of genre and form terms that are specific to the needs of the rare materials community. However, the proposed terms, used for indexing works that are prejudicial
in nature or related to systems of oppression, also have wider applicability beyond rare materials. Genre and form terms are used to provide controlled description of what resources
<i>are</i> (e.g. dictionaries, biographies, diaries, correspondence), rather than what they are
<i>about</i>. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The working group has reviewed extant terminology in the thesaurus to broaden terms from “literature” to “works” and revise selected existing scope notes. We have also drafted new
terms for types of prejudicial works that were not previously represented in the thesaurus as well as terms related to colonialism and enslavement. The proposals within the Prejudicial works hierarchy are not meant to be exhaustive but to provide a scaffold
for the future. CVEG encourages the community to propose additional narrower terms to further expand this section of the thesaurus.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

those with identifying information) are optional, and the form may be submitted more than once. Each term is listed individually with its scope note, variants, and relationships. You may submit feedback on as many or as few terms as you would like.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
