LIBRARY AND STATUTORY DISTRIBUTION SERVICE

Vol. 3. No. 32 August 1982

CATALOGING SERVICE BULLETIN

The CATALOGING SERVICE BULLETIN (CSB) issue no. 11 was distributed to deoository

libraries on Survey 81-18. The Library of Congress notified GPO in May that CSB

was a cooperative publication and could not be distributed in depositories. (See

ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES, Volume 3, No. 4). However, upon further investigation it

has been determined CSB does not fall completely within the cooperative publication

category. GPO began ordering depository distribution copies (in paoer) of the

CATALOGING SERVICE BULLETIN, LC 30.7/2:, item 814-B, with issue no.' 17. The

Library of Congress has furnished us with two copies of issues 12 through 16, and

these will be converted and distributed in microfiche.

FEDERAL LABOR RELATIONS AUTimiTY CLA.SS CHANGES

We have recently examined the publications of the Federal Labor Relations

Authority and made the folloxv/ing changes.

Due to a slight variation in titles, the Digest and Tables of Cases . Decisions of the Federal Labor Relations Authority was mistakenly assigned

two SuDoc classes. The publications for Jan. -June 1979 (no vol. numbering)

and Jan. -Sept. 1979, Vol. 1 were correctly classed Y 3.F 31/21 -5: 9-2/ (date)

Vol. 2 (Oct. 1979-Mar. 1980) and Vol. 3 (Apr. -July 1980) were incorrectly

classed: Y 3.F 31/21-3 : 9-3/ (date) . This class has been reassigned and

corrections will appear on future shipping lists. TTie correct classes for

these two publications are: Y 3.F 31/21-3: 9-2/v. 2 and Y 3.F 31/21-3:9-2/v.3.

After consultation with Depository Librarians we have decided to assign

separate SuDoc numbers to the publications being issued under the collective

title: FLRA Report of Case Decisions and FSIP Releases, SuDoc class

Y 3. F 31/21-3:9/ (nos.) . These publications are sold on subscription and

distributed in a package with a cover sheet. Included are four major

titles and less frequently issued infomiational publications. The following

new class structure has been established:

Y 3.F 31/21-3: 9/case (nos.) Report of Case Decisions

Y 3.F 31/21-3 :9/release (nos.) FSIP Releases

Y 3.F 31/21-3: 9-3/ (nos.) Adininistrative Law Judge Decisions

Y 3.F 31/21- 3: 9- 4/ (date) Citator

All classes will be listed separately on the shipping list under one item

number and separate cataloging records will be created for the Serials

Supplement. Separate classes or cataloging records will not be established

for the miscellaneous material also included in the package.

These changes will facilitate the control and shelving of these publications.
