Library Technical Information Services (LTIS), Bibliographic Control (Cataloging) staff is making a change to cataloging practice effective August 1, 2009. The Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC), Bibliographic Cooperative (BIBCO) has recently modified its cataloging practice for electronic resource monographs LTIS has evaluated the change in practice and has decided to adopt the BIBCO requirements for cataloging following the provider-neutral model. LTIS will be applying this cataloging practice to all electronic resource monographs cataloged beginning on Monday, August 3, 2009.
LTIS staff will not be modifying older records in the Catalog of U.S. Government Publications (CGP), only modifying existing records found in the OCLC database that will be added to the CGP.
This change supersedes GPO guidance on “Cataloging Digital Reproductions” issued on issued on May 20, 2009. This information on the FDLP Desktop will be revised to reflect the change in practice.
The BIBCO policy is available for review here.
The BIBCO documentation identifies the specific MARC fields that will be changed or modified. For an example of a cataloging record cataloged under the new practice, see CGP system number 000648752 (Use expert search, sys=000648752).
Questions or comments can be addressed to Jennifer K. Davis, Manager, Bibliographic Control, or through the askGPO help service.
