New from the GPO: Overview About the Creation of Brief Bibliographic Records
5 pages; PDF.
From the document:

In an effort to provide Federal depository libraries and the general public with more timely access to bibliographic records in the Catalog of U.S. Government Publications (CGP) (http://catalog.gpo.gov), Library Services and Content Management (LS&CM) recently began a Library Technical Information Services (LTIS) internal pilot project to develop standards for the creation of brief bibliographic records for monographs. The goals of the project are to:

• Test possible workflows that more fully utilize the functionality of the Integrated Library System (ILS),

• Test the separate record cataloging approach by creating bibliographic records for publications in formats that are distributed as well as those that are not distributed, and

• Evaluate user responses to the availability of brief cataloging for publications
