Hi all,

I know some of you are belong to the Facebook group to which I posted this question last night. I thought I should ask this group since, although not necessarily a rare books question, probably comes up more frequently in special collections.

Has anyone found a workaround for the LCSH term "Noble savage" that retains the concept/idea of the term without actually using it?

Strangely, there's been faculty pushback about eliminating the subject heading from our records altogether, which is my preferred option.

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.

Nina
