**Cross-posted to various PCC lists, apologies for the duplication **
With the implementation of the Library of Congress' new
integrated library system (ILS), PCC participants have
encountered many different types of bibliographic records
in the LC Online Catalog that previously were not encountered
when searching under the previous system, MUMS.
NACO catalogers have asked questions about the handling and
disposition of headings that include the legend "[from old catalog]"
at the end of the heading, as well as a group of pre-1981
records with obsolete headings.
In an attempt to respond to these questions and to alleviate
confusion a "Frequently asked questions" (FAQ) has been developed
and is posted on the PCC web site at:
<http://lcweb.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/oldcatfaq.html>
Suggestions for additions, improvements, etc. should be sent to Ana
