The Program  for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) seeks to be a democratic and diverse  organization whose mission and goals are determined by its membership. Members  govern the programs through participation in program events, standing  committees, and task groups. PCC is a cooperative cataloging venture wherein  members contribute bibliographic records and related data under a common set of  standards and conventions using the bibliographic utilities.
