Update 17, 2006 (Updates)
Update 17 includes preliminary revision of instructions relating to LC decision to discontinue series authority control effective June 1, 2006. Because PCC series policy remains status quo, changes were made to indicate LC new cataloging practice and its reduced level of participation in supporting PCC series authority work. The update also includes addition of new MARC values approved since the last update as well as removal of obsolete values. In addition, some subfield delimiters, form of names, etc. were also updated.
