Library and Depository Staff Notes

We would like you to know who we

are and what we do, and that we have

the usual human characteristics in- cluding, unfortunately, the human

attribute of making mistakes. In the Public Documents Library we have professional librarian cata- logers who assign classification numbers to shipping list publications as well as other publications to be en- tered in the Monthly Catalog, do all cataloging and indexing for the Catalog, proofread the text and index of

the Catalog, translate letters for the

whole Public Documents area, and

answer correspondence concerning

classification numbers. These librariniis also assign classification numbers

to publications and advance order

cards for sales stock, perform other

miscellaneous classification, and are

the contact between the Central Washington Office and the fourteen Regional Printing Procurement Offices located across the country.

There are data preparation clerks

who enter the cataloging and indexing

into the computer by way of typewriters connected by telephone to a computer located in the Government

Printing Office. An editorial assistant adds neces- sary notes and preliminary information, and generally reviews the order

and content of the Catalog, as computer printouts are received.

Three employees work on the preparation of the serial set volumes, and

the "Numerical Lists and Schedule of

Volumes of Reports and Documents of

Congress."

Employees, classified variously as clerk typists, multilith operators, and

Because the response to "Public

Documents Highlights" has been so

great, we have revised the schedule

so that the "Highlights" will now be

circulated on a bi-monthly basis. Have you any tips, advice, suggestions or ideas that other librarians

could use? We are interested in short

articles to be included in our "Librarians' Information Exchange."

Do you have suggestions for subjects to be covered in the "Highlights?" Do you have any general in- terest questions you want answered in

the Questions and Answers column?

Public Printer meets with

Depository Library Council

in New York

Public Printer Thomas F. McCormick met with the Depository Library

Council of the Public Printer on

Saturday, July 6, 1974 in New York

City prior to the Annual Conference

of American Library Association. The

Council made a nmnber of recommendations, including plans for in- specting libraries across the country,

proposed standards for depository li- braries, and the possibility of printing

the SuDoc number in all material sent

to depository libraries. The Council

also discussed the Microtext Publishing Program and briefly touched on

Bibliographic Control of Documents.

Superintendent of Documents Classification

System

The basis of the Superintendent

of Documents classifications system

used in the Public Documents Li- brary, and in the "Monl^li^Catalog,'''

is the grouping togethar or^ublications of any Governmeat autftpr, the

various departments, pureausK and

agencies being consideretl the autliors. In the grouping, the organizational

structure of the United Spates Gover! ment is followed; that is, bureaus and divisions aAe grouped

with the parent organizati

Government agencies are reorganize

the classification numbers areychanged

to reflect the new organizatio

If a continuing series CJass is changed, the Public Documents Li

brary does not change the earlier

publications in the series. Only, the

publications received after the\ re- organization takes effect bear the nVw

classes. Individual depository libraries

handle the problem of split series ihi various ways; some follow our prac-\

tice, some change the older publica- \^ tions to the new class and still others

may continue on with the earlier class. Since the use of the Superintendent of Documents classification svstem is not mandatory, many adaptations, or even

original numbers may be used bv

libraries to suit their individual needs.

The use of the three-figure Cutter

table can be used by libraries assigning their own class numbers to avoid

conflict W'ith classes which later might

be assigned bv the Public Documents

Library.

A question often arising is the

choice of Cutter word in the title. The

rule is to use the "key word." If there

is more than one key word in a title, as often happens, the choice of a Cutter word depends on the viewpoint of

the classifier anwhis opinion in deciding the best Ciyter word. There is no

definite rule, ance publications vary. For example, fin the Transportation

Department 'IGeneral Publications"

lass, we would try to avoid using

ransportatijpn" as a Cutter word

sirt^-e the whoEe class is concerned with

transportation. A publication entitled. "Transbortation of Children,"

issuedxby thelTransportation Department ^vWdd b^ Guttered under "Children." Tlae saihie title might be used

for a punilica|ion of the Children's

Bureau. InNtha[t case, since all publications concet4 children in some wav,

the same titM would be Guttered

under "Transp^tation" in the Children's Bureau "(r^neral Publications"

Regional Depository Library ^1 hop

On July 13, 1974 the first Regional

Depository Library Workshop was

held in New York at the New York

Sheraton Hotel following the American Library Association Meeting.

Twenty-six (26) Regional Depository

librarians were present or represented

and eight visitors and representatives

from other Depository Libraries also attended. The following staff members from the Government Printing

Office were on hand to deliver addresses and answer questions regarding the depositorv program: Mr. W.

H. Lewis, Assistant Public Printer

(Superintendent of Documents), Mr.

Earl Clement, Director, Documents

Sales Service, Mr. Lee S. Sadler, Director, Library and Statutory Distribution Service. Mr. J. Livsey, Microform

Program Manager, Mr. Norman N.

Virginia Saunders, Congressional Documents Specialist. Mr. LeRoy C. Schwarzkopf, Government Documents

Librarian from the University of

Maryland delivered an address on "How a library organizes Government

Documents." Other topics discussed

included the "Superintendent of Documents Classification System." "Sale

of Government Documents," "Depositorv Library Law." "Depository Distribution and Filling of Claims,"

"Disnosal of Denositorv Publications"

and "^Vlicropublishing."

The success of this Workshop and

future ones should result in a better

understanding of the Depository pro- gram and more efficient service.

MICROFICHE

Increased interest in the use of microfiche within the library environment has prompted many questions

regarding the availability of portable

microfiche viewers for use in the li- brary and as possible loan items for

patron use. A publication entitled MICROFICHE VIEWING EQUIPMENT

GUIDE produced by the Defense

Documentation Center provides a descriptive directory of microfiche viewers and viewer-printers that were manufactured or distributed in tT^

United States through mid-1973.

tailed specifications, features and

photographs are uniformly listed for each of the 92 models surveyed.

Superintendent of Documents Classification

System

The basis of the Superintendent

of Documents classifications system

used in the Public Documents Li- brary, and in the "Monthly Catalog,"

is the grouping together of publications of any Government author, the

various departments, bureaus, and

agencies being considered the authors. In the grouping, the organizational

structure of the United States Government is followed; that is, subordinate

bureaus and divisions are grouped

with the parent organization. As the

Government agencies are reorganized,

the classification numbers are changed

to reflect the new organization.

If a continuing series class is changed, the Public Documents Li- brary does not change the earlier

publications in the series. Only the

publications received after the re- organization takes effect bear the new

classes. Individual depository libraries handle the problem of split series in various ways; some follow our practice, some change the older publications to the new class and still others

may continue on with the earlier class. ~;ce the use of the Superintendent of ^^ocuments classification system is not mandatory, many adaptations, or even

original numbers may be used by

libraries to suit their individual needs.

The use of the three-figure Cutter

table can be used by libraries assigning tbeir own class numbers to avoid

conflict w'ith classes which later might

be assigned by the Public Documents

Depositorv Library Workshop was

A question often arising is the

rule is to use the "key word." If there

is more than one key word in a title, as often happens, the choice of a Cutter word depends on the viewpoint of

the classifier and his opinion in deciding the best Cutter word. There is no

definite rule, since publications vary. For example, in the Transportation

Department "General Publications"

class, we would try to avoid using

"Transportation" as a Cutter word

since the whole class is concerned with

transportation. A publication entitled "Transportation of Children,"

issued by the Transportation Department would be Guttered under "Children." Tlie same title might be used

for a publication of the Children's

Bureau. In that case, since all publications concern children in some way,

the same title would be Guttered

under "Transportation" in the Children's Bureau "General Publications"

class. The word choice, which is very

flexible, depends on the basic class, and how similar publications have

been handled in that particular class in the past.

Non - GPO Material

The Pviblic Printer has made an

effort to broaden the scope of NonGPO printed material now being sent

to Depository Libraries and included

in the Monthly Catalog.

Circular Letter No. 105 was sent to Federal Government departments and

agencies on September 12, 1973 re- minding them that under Section 1710

of the U.S. Code, Title 44, all Government departments are required to furnish to the Superintendent of Documents one copy of each publication

issued by them to enable the Superintendent of Documents to list every

printed and processed publication of

the Government, whether printed at the Government Printing Office or elsewhere, in the Monthly Catalog of

U.S. Government publications. Circular Letter No. 110 was sent to the same

agencies on Julv 5, 1974 advising

them of their obligation under Sec- tion 1903, U.S. Code, Title 44, to furnish to the Superintendent of

Documents conies of publications not printed by GPO for distribution to depository libraries. (Tt)

Questions and Answers on

the Depository Operation

and Documents Sales Service

Q. Should we use SuDoc or stock

number when ordering a publication?

A. When ordering publications give

both SuDoc number and stock

number, if possible, as well as the

title, and date or edition number.

Q. Why do I have so much trouble

wheh I use my depository account

number when I order publications? A. Depository library numbers and

deposit account numbers are two

different things. A deposit account

(not depository account) means

that money has been deposited

with the Government Printing

Office to be used for the purchase

of publications. A depository number is used in the free distribution

of material under the Depository

Library Law. Correspondence deal- ing with deposit accounts should

be addressed to the Superintendent of Documents; depository li- brary correspondence should be

addressed to the Public Documents

Library.

Q. Can one walk into a bookstore and

make a purchase on a deposit ac- count registered with GPO in

Washington?

A. If you have a deposit account with

the GPO in Washington, purchases

may be made in local bookstores

charging the publications to this account. Q. Can we borrow a publication from

the Library at GPO?

A. The Public Documents Library

does not make interlibrary loans. Most of the older books were trans- ferred to the National Archives in

1972 where they are available for

on-site use. \ 1 Q. Why are publicationS\distributed

to depository libraries\n such ir- regular order? Is it som\pecu 'iar priority system which deAes {explanation?

A. The erratic distribution of depository publications is due to lack of

work and storage space in the sec- tion responsible for mailing the

publications. We will shortly be

moving into a larger area where

the work can be organized to bet- ter advantage, and a new distribution system can be implemented.

With the new facilities we hope to eliminate the backlog of undistributed publications, and keep

current once this is accomplished.

Q. Could the depository item numbers be further broken down so that a library would not have to take fluff along with valuable publications?

A^ At the present time there are ap- \proximately 3,000 depository

items, which constitute 3,000 sep- arate mailing lists in this Office. FurHier breakdown within these

series\^ eliminate "fluff," particularly in our "catch-all" classes such

as "Gener^tl publications," "Handbooks, maniK^, guides," and "Addresses" classes, would not be feasible. This would require treating

each publication individually with no definitely delineated categories.

"Public Documents Highlights" is circulated bi-monthly by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington,

D.C. 20402, and is mailed at first class postage rates. "Public Documents

Highlights" is intended primarily for librarians of the Federal Depository

Library Program. Material proposed

for circidation may be submitted to the Editor, Public Documents Highlights, Public Documents Departmg^^

Box 1533, Washington, D.C. 20(W

The Superintendent of Documents,

however, retains the right to accept

such material, to edit it, and to assign

priorities of circulation.
