With discussion going on currently within CC:DA about a proposal from PCC to not require transcription of series statements, I am left wondering what the status is within PCC regarding series statements and headings. The CONSER Access Level report recommended allowing series statements OR series headings, but not requiring both (series headings being required only when an authority record exists or will be created). After the PoCo meeting in November, things got gotten confused on that matter. I have seen no other discussion regarding any change in PCC series policy in general. Is any discussion going on within BIBCO about this? I don't remember seeing anything since last May or June that would have indicated a change in PCC policy. Also, is progress being made toward simplifying the series authority guidelines? Clarification on PCC position, please! Thanks. Kevin M.
