Subject: LC TO ADOPT CORE RECORD

***************************************************************
    On May 28, 1997, LC's Cataloging Management Team (CMT) voted to
adopt the core-level bibliographic record in the Cataloging
Directorate and Serial Record Division.  The CMT based its decision
primarily on the results of the core-level cataloging experiment.
The CMT also considered the results of experiments with
core-level cataloging at Cornell University and UCLA as well as
LC's core-level cataloging project for serial publications.  Over the
next several months the directorate and Serial Record Division will
consult with constituencies both within the Library and in the
professional community and develop implementation plans and revise
documentation as needed to implement the core-level bibliographic
record.
