These staff members have been adding pre-1976 federal publications to our online catalog using OCLC records or original cataloging as these materials are returned after circulating to users.
Q14: We will be happy to share the shelflist comparisons we coordinated in the early 1990's with Texas A&M, BYU, Yale, Clemson. If these institutions do not respond to survey, it might be worthwhile contacting them to see if they are still interested in such a project.

Q2: We are currently cataloging titles in the CIS Serial Set, part XII (1959-1969). Though not a depository item, cataloging these on a national bibliographic utility such as OCLC does enable users to identify needed pre-1976 documents. There is enough information in the records to relate them to the original documents.: 2500

Q14: Alderman Library at UVA has done some retrospective pre1976 cataloging. They have done the LC popular names titles. They also try to catalog anything which circulates. I don't think much of what they have cataloged has been orginal cataloging. Walter Newsome is the librarian. He may very well answer the survey, probably will. His email address is wln@virginia.edu

Office), and Congressional hearings.
