Until December 31, 2024, Records for new Federal documents were received in batches from MARCIVE. MARCIVE doesn't exist any longer. There is an OCLC service that we will probably use going forward but that still needs approval and training. Will update when we know (DLS 2/4/2025)

Needs & Offers Cataloging
RDS works with Phil Wrede in Government Information on this project. It is currently the main priority for RDS Gov Docs cataloging (Sept 2024).
General Government Information Cataloging Procedures are primarily used for this work.
Phil leaves them on the labeled shelf section in the NUC room. They will already have PASCAL stickers on them if they are going to PASCAL. If there is no PASCAL sticker they will go in the Norlin basement - use the location code GOVBUS.
When finished cataloging :
|
If going to PASCAL (Location code PASCALER), put item(s) on the large wooden cart near the windows in N110 |
|
If going to GOVBUS, put item(s) on GovDocs Out shelf on the bottom shelf in the first self section of the N110 wall shelves. |
Agriculture Department Project (not currently active, could be started again?)
This process is currently performed by serials cataloging.
