LC Genre/Form Terms for Religious Material Project 
 
A summary of terms proposed to date was circulated to Project roster members on Aug. 26, 
2011. A copy (called “Working notes”) was also posted to the “Genre Forms for Religious 
Terms Project” webpage at http://www.atla.com/Members/benefits/projects/Pages/Genre-
Forms.aspx (no password required). Comments on that summary were due by Oct. 14, 2011. 
A first draft of proposed terms should be available for review by late autumn. Copies of that 
draft will be mailed to Project roster members. A copy will also be posted to the website and 
an announcement sent to altatech-l.
