Cataloging Committee

Committee Members | GODORT  Bylaws | GODORT Policies and Procedures Manual (PPM)

GODORT's Cataloging Committee has four main purposes:
To provide a forum for technical discussions on policies and practices for government document cataloging; to serve as an interface for information exchange between documents catalogers and documents users in government agencies, various types of libraries, and bibliographic networks; to comment upon matters which affect the cataloging of government documents and to raise such issues as appropriate; and to serve as liaison with other groups within ALA and through GODORT, with Federal agencies, other library associations, and bibliographic networks.

The Committee meets twice a year, at the ALA Midwinter Meeting and Annual Conference, to discuss description and access issues with representatives of government agencies and GODORT's liaison to CC:DA. The Committee maintains three resource "toolboxes" to assist those cataloging and processing government publications.
