Apologies for multiple postings. Below are selected text excerpts from four LCRIs affected by the decision regarding LC practices for series. Currently, the revised documents are not on a public Web site due to the time needed for approval from another LC offices. CPSO will be posting these and other LCRI revisions as well as DCM Z1 revisions on the public Web site in May. All those documents will be revised again after any PCC decision has been made. We're grateful to Judy Kuhagen for providing these texts. (1) LCRI 1.6 - revised section: Organization of the LCRIs on Series This general LCRI (1.6) addresses situations in which a series statement should be given in a bibliographic record. LCRI 1.6A2 gives information about sources for the series statement. LCRIs for 1.6B-C, E-H deal with the separate data elements given in a series statement. LCRI 1.6J includes information about some special situations in which more than one series statement is given. The intent is that these LCRIs deal with the series statement only as an area of bibliographic description; however, until a new introductory rule or LCRI is written for AACR2 Chapter 21, LCRI 1.6 and LCRI 1.6H will continue to include some information about the number of series headings appropriate to specific situations. See AACR2 rule 21.30L and LCRI 21.30L for information about access points for series. [LC has announced a change in policy applying to all bibliographic resources (monographs, serials, and integrating resources) in series. As of May 1, 2006, LC analyzes and classifies separately all parts of monographic series and of multipart monographs with the following exceptions: (1) multipart monographs with all parts lacking analyzable titles; (2) some unnumbered multipart monographs covered by made-up collected set records; (3) some monographic series defined as "technical reports" at LC. (Another exception for some musical works is being considered.) As of the same date, LC does not give "controlled" access points for series in new bibliographic records and does not make or update series authority records. A decision on PCC practice is pending.] (2) LCRI 13.3 - new section: LC has announced a change in policy applying to all bibliographic resources (monographs, serials, and integrating resources) in series.

As of May 1, 2006, this LCRI applies to PCC practice only. A decision on PCC practice is pending.
