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.
