GPD would like to express publicly our thanks to the many individuals involved in working through the initial procedures and workflow issues involved in the implementation of Library of Congress classification for cataloging publications from State, Loca l, Foreign Governments and International Governmental Organizations. It is a project/decision that will take considerable time by the staffs in IOCM, MPS, Preservation, and Serials, as well as Government Publications and we acknowledge with appreciation everyone's efforts. We will keep you posted as the project(s) progress. If any questions arise, we hope you will contact us.
As recommended by the GPD Review Task Force Report, we are pleased to announce a joint project for conversion of all manual records for serials on subscription (Post Index Records) to online serials control. The project will involve the staff of both the Government Publications and the Serials Departments. To expedite the project, a vacant position in Government Publications will be assigned to the Serials Department for the duration of the project. The position will work directly in the Procurement/Receipt unit to do the conversion, perform related serials control functions and serve as contact person with the Government Publications Department. The publications from State, Local and Foreign governments and International Governmental Organizations will be classified with L.C.; U.S. publications will continue to use the SuDocs Classification System. The project will significantly enhance the visibility of government information in IUCAT, since approximately 60% of government publishing is Serial.
