General charge: The PCC strongly endorses the continuation of optional series authority control by its members, both libraries and vendors, and will appoint a Task Group to consider long-term benefits, costs, and simplifications of series authority control.
Specific task: Review/gather data
Conduct a comprehensive review of existing PCC documentation
Scan of previous PCC-sponsored series task groups; identify outstanding recommendations that were never acted upon – particularly in the area of record creation simplification
Consider the recommendations of the SCS from June 2006:
- continue to allow the tracing of series in PCC bibliographic records but no longer to require series tracing
- allow the continuation of series authority record contributions (new and modified records) via NACO Series
- require that a traced series given in a PCC bib record be supported by a series authority
record
Survey the PCC members for ideas and thoughts in meeting their stated charges
Specific task: Make recommendations on changes in PCC series policies and documentation that result in simple, unified PCC policies, procedures and series authority data elements in PCC records.
Timeline: Begin June 2007. Preliminary recommendations available to the PCC Policy Committee November 1-2, 2007. Final report due January 4th 2008.
