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:

  1. what are the most common types of versions and reproductions for textual resources, and what are their bibliographic characteristics?
  2. what are the best practices for cataloging each type (e.g., separate records, or single "piggybacked" records)?
  3. 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:
