Micropublishing Council

Holds First Two

Meetings and Adopts

Charter Unanimously

Gathering on Bastille Day, July

14th, members of the recently

formed Public Printer's Council on

Micropublishing met for the first time and after vigorous discussion

unanimously adopted a Charter.

They expressed great concern to provide the Public Printer and the

Superintendent of Documents with

the best available information for ^Ipplementing GPO's micropublish-

--fng program. Focus was on utilizing

the soundest technology, the most

economical means, and effective user access.

In reply to a specific concern ex- pressed by depository librarians,

John J. Boyle, the Public Printer, stated: "We have begun development of a formal replacement policy

for mechanically damaged, lost, destroyed, or stolen microform

products.

"In response to a letter request,

the Joint Committee on Printing has

given us approval to replace at cost microforms that have been mechanically damaged, lost, or stolen. We

are also developing a replacement

criteria for microfiche that fails through faulty processing.

"We had a lot of discussion at the

last Council meeting regarding

archival qualities. Any item that

fails through what we deem to be

'production problems, or problems

^ .rat caused by the library itself, will be replaced without cost. "An interesting sidelight is, of

all the fiche that we have shipped to

October 1978

Number 30 GP 3.27:30

date, we have had to replace only one silver halide fiche which was

imperfect."

At their second meeting, on September 1st, 1978, the Public Print- er's Council on Micropublishing

focused its attention on "The Position Paper of the Cost Criteria Subcommittee of August 8, 1978." After

considerable discussion, Ms. Nancy

Cline moved that: The Government

Assistant Public Printer (Superintendent of Documents)

Printing Office proceed to implement the micropublishing program,

addressing the recommendations

from the Depository Library Council

to the Public Printer, and based on

the report of the Cost Criteria Subcommittee. The motion was adopted.

Both meetings were held in the

Carl Hayden Room of the Government Printing Office with members

of the public attending.

Catalog Corner

The Subject Index of recent Monthly Catalogs has listed many

headings that are preceded by a

star. As indicated in the "Sample

Entry" appearing in the introductory

pages of each Monthly Catalog, the

star designates a local subject

heading.

Subject headings used in the In- dex follow Library of Congress Subject Headings' rules as given in the

printed edition and microfiche. The

only two exceptions to the rules are geographic names for which both LC

and GPO turn to the Board of Geographic Names for assistance, also

a small number of headings which,

upon consultation with the Library

f Congress, we will use as new

eadings. In all other cases the

headings are used in accordance

with established LC policies and

procedures.

The headings must also be tagged

with the appropriate field designators from the MARC formats. The

MARC formats discern between veri- fied and established LC subject

headings (650's) and those headings designed for local library needs

(690's) but not of LC origin. Corre- spondingly, we have designed print

indicators for the Monthly Catalog to

reflect the differences in subject

headings. These print indicators are generated by the specific MARC field designator present. An LC heading

will appear without additional markings; MESH is preceded by an asterisk; and a local heading is pre- ceded by a star. This is the current

printing arrangement for headings

in the subject index,

b. Much confusion has resulted from

^e inconsistent interpretation and

application of local heading desig- nators (690's) on the part of OCLC.

Because they have only implemented the 690's designators in some of the formats, and verbally

communicated an intent for its use

different from that stated in their

"Technical Bulletin No. 24," inor- dinately large numbers of "local"

headings have appeared in recent

issues of the Monthly Catalog. These

headings have been designated as

"local" based upon the communications from OCLC through our net- work office. In reality, these headings are the same LC subject headings we used previously and we have

observed the same guidelines in their construction. The only change

has been in the tag—from 650 to 690—which resulted in the printing

of the stars before the headings.

Questions and Answers Special Needs

Q. Ms. Alice Brown, Documents Li- brarian witli the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, writes to ask how ^ it that the Library and Statutory

^-a)istribution Service has distributed

the CUMULATIVE INDEX OF DECISIONS OF THE FCC, which covers volumes 41 through 60, but only

bound individual volumes through

57? She points out that users of the

INDEX are very puzzled by this.

A. Your Editor contacted the Print- ing Procurement Section of the FCC

and learned that bound volume 58

had just become available as of June

22nd. Volume 59 is expected before

the end of the year, with volume 60

to follow early in 1979.

Q. Ms. Barbara A. White, Law Li- brarian with the Supreme Court Li- brary for the State of Nevada, writes

from Carson City to ask: "What are some of the possible uses for the

SUBJECT BIBLIOGRAPHIES?"

A. The Depository Library inspec-

^ tors, who have visited some 1200

-^braries during the past three and a

half years, report seeing very creative uses of the SUBJECT BIBLIOGRAPHIES (SB Series, Item No. 552A,

GP 3.22/2: ). College and University libraries frequently keep

them in the reference area in an upright box or binder. Their highest use is in providing a quick, current bibliography to a student researching a topic. The student is told that

some/most/all publications listed are available in the depository, or may be had through interlibrary

loan, or even purchase.

Although many Public Libraries use them in similar ways, they do

tend to house them differently. The

very strong vertical file tradition

among Public Libraries usually puts

such material into the files. Their

patrons express greatest interest in using the SUBJECT BIBLIOGRAPHIES to identify publications they

wish to consider for purchase. They

often ask documents librarians to showtheni the depository copy so as

to make a better evaluation.

Some libraries also use them for awareness purposes: checking off

titles which the depository holds,

and routing the SUBJECT BIBLIOGRAPHIES to interested parties.

Others use them as a check against

holdings, and may choose to pur- chase or select an item number on

the basis of information provided.

No doubt additional good uses have been found, and your Editor

welcomes hearing about those

you would like to share with

HIGHLIGHTS readers.

If your depository library has some special needs of a general or

specific nature, let us know. If you

can offer discards, write the requesting depository a letter (sending a copy to your regional). The library

accepting the material agrees to pay

any postage and packing costs that

may be necessary.

Questions and Answers Special Needs

Q. Ms. Alice Brown, Documents Li- brarian with the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, writes to ask how

is it that the Library and Statutory

Distribution Service has distributed

the CUMULATIVE INDEX OF DECISIONS OF THE FCC, which covers volumes 41 through 60, but only

bound individual volumes through

57? She points out that users of the

INDEX are very puzzled by this.

A. Your Editor contacted the Print- ing Procurement Section of the FCC

and learned that bound volume 58

had just become available as of June

22nd. Volume 59 is expected before

the end of the year, with volume 60

to follow early in 1979.

Q. Ms. Barbara A. White, Law Li- brarian with the Supreme Court Li- brary for the State of Nevada, writes

from Carson City to ask: "What are some of the possible uses for the

SUBJECT BIBLIOGRAPHIES?"

A. The Depository Library Inspectors, who have visited some 1200

libraries during the past three and a

half years, report seeing very creative uses of the SUBJECT BIBLIOGRAPHIES (SB Series, Item No. 552A,

GP 3.i/2: ).V:ollege and Uni

versityl libraries frequently keep

them ir||the reference area in an

right tiix or binder|v Their hig use is \p providing a'^uick, cu^ent

bibliography to a stucfent res

ing a td^ic. The studeil is tol| that

some/most/all publications listed are available in the de&sit<|ry, or may be had through i^edfibrary

loan, or even purchase

Although many Public Uyararies use them in similar ways, raey do

tend to house them differenfV The

very strong vertical file tt/Mtion

among Public Libraries usualy '^uts such material into the file^ TPteir patrons express greatest intlrest wi using the sljBJECT BIB

PHIES to identify publicatiois they

wish to considef: for purchasi:. They

often ask documents librartans to show theni the def^ository co| y so as

to make a better eyaluation, I Some libraries a\so use tlj5m for awareness purposes: checkpg off

titles which the depository Iholds,

and routing the SUBJE;CT BiIlIOGRAPHIES to interest'i^d Others use them as a ch|ck

No doubt additional good uses have been found, and your Editor

welcomes hearing about those

you would like to share with

HIGHLIGHTS readers.

GPO 935-466
Monthly

Catalog Corner

C

The Subject Index of recent Monthly Catalogs has listed many

headings that are preceded by a

star. As indicated in the "Sample

Entry" appearing in the introductory

pages of each Monthly Catalog, the

star designates a local subject

heading.

Subject headings used in the In- dex follow Library of Congress Subject Headings' rules as given in the

printed edition and microfiche. The

only two exceptions to the rules are geographic names for which both LC

and GPO turn to the Board of Geographic Names for assistance, also

a small number of headings which,

upon consultation with the Library

of Congress, we will use as new

headings. In all other cases the

headings are used in accordance

with established LC policies and

procedures.

The headings must also be tagged

with the appropriate field designators from the MARC formats. The

MARC formats discern between veri- fied and established LC subject

headings (650's) and those headings designed for local library needs

(690's) but not of LC origin. Corre- spondingly, we have designed print

indicators for the Monthly Catalog to

reflect the differences in subject

headings. These print indicators are generated by the specific MARC field designator present. An LC heading

will appear without additional markings; MESH is preceded by an asterisk; and a local heading is pre- ceded by a star. This is the current

printing arrangement for headings

in the subject index.

Much confusion has resulted from

the inconsistent interpretation and

application of local heading desig- nators (690's) on the part of OCLC.

Because ithey %iave only implemented tie 69^s designators in some of the fornilats, and verbally,

communicated an \^ten{ for its use

different from that '^tated in theji

"Technical Bulletin hio. 24," inojf

dinately large number^ of "loca^l headings have appeared in recmt

issues of the Monthly Cata^jog. Th^se

headings have been designated ;as "local" based upon the coril'tTiu nidations from OCLC through ohr rptwork office. In reality, these 'heiald- ings are the sanie LC subject he|dings we used previously and we ha|^e

observed the saliiie guidelines &

their construction. The only change

:

has been in the tag;^—from 650 |o

690—which resulted in the printing

of the stars before the, headings. \
