In response to Patricia Sayre McCoy's request for help on the question of LC
classification for Maori law:
Jolande Goldberg, at the Library of Congress, says that yes, the KL-KWX
schedule has indeed been revised to include the New Zealand aborigines. By
the way ... she also reports that "the publication of KL-KWX is expected
before AALL in Boston."
Here is the revised part of the schedule (for those of you who may have
copies of the "Working Draft" of KL-KWX):
KUQ New Zealand
Including North, South, and Stewart Islands
0-4890 General (Table F, modified)

(N.B. I have made every effort to follow the correct
indentions for the revised
part of the schedule as given by Jolande Goldberg. If, however, the
indentions get messed up when translated into your e-mail program, e.g., if
your system allows fewer characters per line than mine does, then please
feel free to contact me, and I will instead send you a printed copy
of this revised section.)
I hope this helps! -- Alva
