- W186463672 abstract "That is Herbert Putnam, Librarian of Congress, describing in an annual report the new practice of selling Library of Congress catalog cards. The year was 1901. In 1979 one library official apprised Congress that there are 2.4 million new cards added each year into the library's formal catalogs?in 70,000 card drawers. And if you were to lay all the cards out flat, they would take up 163 acres. But they are not laid out flat, and they do take tens of thousands of filers' days of work to make sure that they go in the right place. The selling of cards in 1901 changed American librarianship significantly. The implementation of AACR 2 in 1981 will change it again, significantly. Reader ser vice librarians in LC are working with processing service librarians to make the change a smooth one and to assure that the closing of the old catalogs and the opening of the new automated ones will continue to serve the users of the library. The first published announcement of the closing of the catalogs appeared in the library's Information Bulletin in No vember 1977. In January 1978 the Pro cessing Services Department convened a meeting with representatives from all reader service and other departments in the library to go over a ten-page docu ment that outlined in some detail the is sues surrounding this decision and the questions that remained to be asked. The document appeared in the Information Bulletin in March 1978. During that spring working staff from the divisions that make up the General Reference Di rectorate of the library met several times. Their discussions focused on specific questions regarding the impact and im plementation of the closing. The repre sentatives were asked to go back to their respective divisions to poll their col leagues as we continued to meet over the months. By June we had sent to Process ing one suggestion regarding shelflisting procedures and the closing of the shelflist. As we continued to confront other questions, there was established in July a Reference/Processing Work Group on the Future of the Catalogs. It is this work group, chaired by the director for cataloging, that has the task of recom mending to the Processing Services De partment suggestions for implementing the closing and minimizing its impact on reader service and processing activities. The work group consists of twelve to fifteen members, including senior mana gers who can make policy decisions and reference staff who work daily with readers and the catalogs. To date there have been ten meetings. One of the first things that became clear to reference staffs was the connection between the" @default.
