Introduction: Since the beginning of Amazon.com’s creation in the 1990’s, books have been a major component of the business. In fact books were the first items Amazon ever sold, before being joined by other items. Recently Amazon.com ventured into the publishing sector by allowing people to self-publish their works, and this has created a vast…
Since early 2007, the Library of Congress has been developing Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms for Library and Archival Materials (LCGFT), whose terms describe what something is rather than what it is about, as subject headings do. In March 2015 the Policy and Standards Division (PSD) will approve approximately 390 genre/form terms for literary works.
The Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) is perhaps the most widely adopted subject indexing language in the world, has been translated into many languages, and is used around the world by libraries large and small. LCSH has been actively maintained since 1898 to catalog materials held at the Library of Congress. Proposals for additions and changes are reviewed regularly at staff meetings in the Policy and Standards Division (PSD) and an approved list is published.

L’épidémiologie des addictions a très tôt mis en en évidence une prédominance
masculine quasi exclusive parmi les consommateurs d’alcool, de tabac et d’autres

à l’égard de chaque sexe, en prévention comme en soins .... Néanmoins, la diffusion et la nature des
approches « au féminin » demeurent, en France, insuffisamment connues.

413--429(August 2006)This article usefully accompanied by Tim Moore's 'The Processes of learning ...' which also describes how genre awareness and mapping can help writing in three disciplines, including history. Particularly useful is the way Coffin sketches the different sub genres within history writing and how these are developed as the child progresses through the school curriculum. What I think is particularly useful is her discussion of how the 'Teaching-Learning cycle' can help students become aware of the requirements of 'institututionalised' genres that are new to them..
