<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Arial", sans-serif; color: rgb(73, 73, 73);">WASHINGTON, D.C.-The American Library Association (ALA) praised the Library of Congress's decision to update the cataloging subject headings "Aliens" and "Illegal aliens."
The Policy and Standards Division of the Library of Congress, which maintains Library of Congress Subject Headings, announced the decision to replace the terms with new subject headings "Noncitizens" and "Illegal immigration" at its regularly scheduled meeting
on November 12.</span></p>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Arial", sans-serif; color: rgb(73, 73, 73);">ALA President Patty Wong said, "We are pleased that the Library of Congress is replacing these subject headings, which are both outdated and dehumanizing. This update better
reflects common terminology and respects library users and library workers from all backgrounds. It also reflects the core value of social justice for ALA members, who have been at the vanguard of this change for years."</span></p>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Arial", sans-serif; color: rgb(73, 73, 73);">The Library of Congress Subject Headings are widely used in library catalogs to index the topics of library materials. The Policy and Standards Division of the Library
of Congress routinely adds and updates the terms used as subject headings.</span></p>
