Christina and others
   If you believe that a particular name, uniform title, or subject
authority record needs to be corrected the appropriate LC office to
contact is the Cataloging Policy and Support Office (CPSO).  The easiest
way is to send an e-mail message to CPSO@LOC.GOV in which you identify the
record in question, describe the change you believe should be made and
cite your authority.  If you can cut and paste the record and your
evidence in the message, all the better.

   From my experience they respond very quickly.

   If for any reason e-mail is not appropriate (e.g., you want to include
photocopies in support of your proposed change) you can mail your request
to Catalog Policy and Support Office
   Library of Congress
   Washington, D.C.  20540
