Subject: [PCCLIST] BIBCO Standard Record Approved


The PCC Policy Committee (PoCo) has approved the creation of a BIBCO
Standard Record (BSR) for monographic materials.   The requirements for
the BSR for monographs were laid out in the final report of the Task
Group on BIBCO Standard Record Requirements, available from the PCC
Website at: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/bibco/BSR-Final-Report.pdf



The Policy Committee will be discussing the details of BSR
implementation at its upcoming meeting (November 5 and 6, 2009) at the 
Library
of Congress.  The PoCo will also consider the process of creating BSR
guidelines for other formats.   Details will be forthcoming after the
November meetings in Washington.
