PCC colleagues:
The Guidelines for Creating Bibliographic Records in
Multiple Character sets have been accepted by the PCC Policy Committee and are
available from the PCC, BIBCO, and CONSER web sites.
During discussion of the guidelines at the BIBCO/CONSER
Operations Representatives Meeting in May there was disagreement about allowing
options in section 1.5.2 of the guidelines.
The PCC Policy Committee has agreed to post the document
with the options in place allowing PCC catalogers that find the options useful
to make use of them: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/scs/PCCNonLatinGuidelines.pdf
The PCC Policy Committee wishes to thank the PCC Task Force
on Non-Latin Script Cataloging Documentation for its work and perseverance.
