Library of Congress recognises Steampunk

[kaffles]

Steamy book-geeks may realise that the L of C, who create the standard subject headings used in most library catalogues in English speaking countries, are generally very slow to update their terminology. (They only got rid of their references to 'videos' on various topics, meaning film recordings, a few weeks ago.) So I was jolly chuffed to see

I know some of those Geeks. I will ask around.

School libraries

Can't wait to share this info with my school librarians! My elementary students know that I'm into Steampunk and Steampunk literature, so now they'll know where to find it at school!

Too bad the library where I am a librarian doesn't have fiction in the collection....I guess I'll have to go to other libraries and drool over their subject headings (wow, I think I out-geeked myself there!).

Very awesome! I'm not a librarian, but this makes me really happy.
