TOOLBOX FOR PROCESSING AND CATALOGING
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS

The Cataloging Committee of the American Library Association Government
Documents Round Table is pleased to announce a new website:

Toolbox for Processing and Cataloging Federal Government Documents at:

http://www2.lib.udel.edu/godort/cataloging/toolbox.htm

The Toolbox can also be reached from the homepage of the Cataloging
Committee at:

http://www2.lib.udel.edu/godort/cataloging/

A collection of tools and guides for the processing and cataloging of
materials
distributed through the Federal Depository Library Program, this Toolbox
is
intended to serve both new and experienced library staff who process and
catalog
depository materials.

The Toolbox describes and compares the resources listed to assist the
user
in decision-making.  The intention of this website is to provide
one-stop
shopping for any problem or question one might have about processing and
cataloging federal documents.

The Toolbox is divided into the following sections:
1.  GPO Item Selection and Classification Information
2.  Depository Processing Tools
3.  GPO Cataloging Records
4.  Collection Management Information
5.  Cataloging Handbooks, Manuals, and Guides:
        A. Links to Selected Tools
        B. Megapages by Library Organizations
        C. Tool Collections by Individual Libraries
6.  Verifying PURLs and Internet Resources
7.  Library Catalogs
8.  E-Mail Discussion Lists

This Toolbox is not intended as a static display of links. Recognizing
that United States federal government publishing and standards for
bibliographic control are subject to change, the GODORT Cataloging
Committee welcomes feedback from users on the content and presentation
of these resources. Comments and suggestions may be directed to the
editor, John A. Stevenson, through the e-mail link at the bottom of the
page.
