PCC Task Force on Multiple Manifestations of E-Resources
The Program for Cooperative Cataloging's Task Force on Multiple
Manifestations of Electronic Resources is seeking your opinion and input. Here's an
opportunity to share your thoughts on some of the most significant policies
on bibliographic access to e-resources, particularly those situations where the
creation of different bibliographic records for e-resource versions is or is
not warranted.
The three main questions which the Task Force is considering are, briefly
stated:
- what are the most common types of versions and reproductions for textual
resources, and what are their bibliographic characteristics?
- what are the best practices for cataloging each type (e.g., separate
records, or single "piggybacked" records)?
- what are the defining principles on which to base decisions about
whether to create single or separate records, for current as well as for future types?
(For a full description of the Task Force's charge, as well as other relevant
information, please see the website at http://lcweb.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/tgmuler.html.)
We welcome your answers to these questions, and any other comments you might
have. Please send them to the interim TF chair:
