Weird library problem today.
Cataloging a thesis "Libraries and the Occult" -- attitudes of librarians toward the subject (not buying or keeping hidden) and public opinion about it. I think the shelf number will be straight forward; currently I'm stuck finding relivant subject headings. Bleh.
Case in point: the subdivision "controversial literature" (normally 'free floating' for topics) is disallowed under "Occultism", as being redundant (There's a cross-reference). That's saying Occultism is BY DEFINITION controversial.
