sac-class: Comments on shelflisting outline

["Mary Kay Pietris" <mpie@loc.gov>]

I am sorry not to have been able to attend the meeting in Chicago.

I have just read over the shelflisting outline.  Two statements are no longer correct.

IV, 2:  Disadvantages.  There may be no printed index to all the schedules, but that index is available in Classification Web, where the individual indexes are all rolled into one.  

VII 3 b:  Shelflisting has not been done by a separate "department" (actually, it was a section of the Subject Cataloging Division) since 1992, when there was a major reorganization.  Most shelflisting is still done by technicians, but some catalogers are now learning to do their own shelflisting.
