New Cooperative Cataloging Partnerships

The U.S. Government Publishing Office’s (GPO’s) Library Services and Content Management unit recently began work on two cooperative cataloging partnerships with the University of Colorado, Boulder and the Colorado School of Mines. The University of Colorado is creating bibliographic records for historic, tangible publications from the USGS Bulletins series and the Bureau of Mines Reports of Investigations series, while the Colorado School of Mines is creating records for the electronic versions of publications from four USGS series: Bulletins, Circulars, Water Supply Papers, and Professional Papers.

GPO will enhance the records by verifying the SuDoc number and performing needed authority work to the subject headings and corporate names. The records will then be available through GPO’s Catalog of U.S. Government Publications (CGP) and OCLC. To locate the records in the CGP, search for the keywords “CATPART; UCB” and/or “CATPART; CSM”.
