#lcsh

The assignment I'm writing now is for a class that all I've learned is that categorisation can be and is bigoted.

Basically there's a way of labeling and cataloguing books called LCSH, or library of congress subject headings. The USA library of congress has an enormous amount of sway in the information industry of the whole english speaking world, which is already bullshit but anyway. That's not the specific point.

So if you look up 'adhd', you get three headings. You get "Attention-deficit disorder in adults”, “Attention-deficit disorder in adolescents” and “Attention-deficit disorder" (which refers only to children). Bullshit #1.

All of these are nested under seperate headings of their own.

“Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder” and “Attention-deficit disorder in adolescence” are nested under “Child psychopathology” and “adolescent psychopathology” respectively.

“Attention-deficit disorder in adults”?
