Status of Subject Cataloging Manual: Shelflisting and Plans for a New Edition
The Cataloging Policy and Support Office (CPSO) is planning to produce a new edition of the current Subject Cataloging Manual: Shelflisting, combined into a single physical volume with the current Subject Cataloging Manual: Classification. Some of the changes CPSO has made to Shelflisting in preparation for the combined volume are:
reorganizing the manual into two sections: General and LC-Specific Information
renumbering and relocating many of the instruction sheets
splitting G 60 into 5 separate instruction sheets
deleting fourteen instruction sheets because of changes in internal LC procedures
updating most of the remaining instruction sheets
deleting the index, with a new one prepared for the new publication
This Help file includes the changes presented at: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/scmsl.html.
