The Cataloging Policy and Support Office (CPSO) is planning to produce a new edition of the current Subject Cataloging Manual: Shelflisting, combined into a single physical volume with the current Subject Cataloging Manual: Classification. The new edition will have the title Subject Cataloging Manual: LC Classification and Shelflisting, and is projected to be published some time in 2007, both in print form and in Cataloger's Desktop.

In the meantime, much of the new and revised material in the shelflisting manual is being made available in Cataloger's Desktop. The manual has been reorganized into two sections: General, and LC-Specific Information. Many of the instruction sheets have been renumbered and relocated. G 60 has been split into five separate instruction sheets. Fourteen instruction sheets have been deleted because they reflect internal LC procedures that have changed since the introduction of the LC ILS in 1999. Most of the remaining instruction sheets have been updated to correct errors or remove obsolete information. The index has been deleted; a new index will be prepared when the print edition is ready for publication. The tables below show the disposition of instruction sheets that have been renumbered or deleted.
