To listserv members,
        The Government Printing Office Library has been a contributor to LC
subjects for some years.  As you all may know, names and series authority
records contributed through the OCLC utility are indexed immediately and
searchable on OCLC, but subjects go through a different process and are
loaded after LC activity.  To assist our staff, our subjects authority
personnel have developed monthly in-house lists of subject proposal
contributions. With MUMS gone and the authorities module of Voyager not yet
available to us, GPO is relying more upon our in-house lists.
        After consultation with staff and LC personnel, and in the spirit of
cooperation which we and LC share, we are posting our monthly lists.  This
will hopefully provide a means to allow others to know what has been
contributed, and possibly reduce duplication.  We submit a few hundred
entries per year, so this posting will have only two months' worth of
listings.  The monthly lists include updates or changes from previous lists.
        These postings will no longer be needed after the authorities module
of LC's Voyager is activated for public use in the indefinite future.  These
lists will be discontinued at that time.
        Questions or comments can be sent to Dennis Dearnbarger / GPO
