Possible actions Harvard Library has utilitized for local changes

To deal with LC's reluctance to change subject headings related to undocumented immigrants, the Harvard Library "Change the Subject" Task Group implemented a local solution in January 2021 to remap any headings with "aliens" to display as "noncitizens" and the heading "illegal aliens" to "undocumented immigrants." This solution was reversed in 2022 after LC changed the heading involved. This could be a potential temporary solution to future problematic headings. Information on the project and its implementation can be found here:
