# 6 Recommended Selection Decision Authority 

Figure 2 identifies JIG recommendations on where selection should occur
and who should perform it. The final column (Assignment) indicates which
unit routes the format to LS cataloging and assigns the work to a
custodial location.

# 

[^1]: Only new serials or serials with title changes are separated from
    the main workflow to receive a selection decision. Serials with an
    existing record are processed according to that record. Selection
    decisions for serials with title changes are routinely reconsidered.

[^2]: The location where the Serial ACQ SO will perform selection
    activities is not yet determined.
