Procedures for Minutes

Because the committee's minutes are unique, in that they are often sources for information concerning many serials cataloging topics and trends, and can provide to serials catalogers guidelines on AACR2 and other serials cataloging standards, the committee endeavors to provide timely, accurate, and unambiguous information as it is reported at its meetings and as topics are discussed.

While these minutes do not carry the weight of official LC Rule Interpretations or CONSER Guidelines, they can be helpful as supplemental information to them. Accordingly, the minutes need to be distributed as widely, as accurately, and as fully as is practical. Use the procedures in the Procedures for Minutes document.
