- Local Cataloging Policies in ARL Libraries. SPEC Kit 110. Allen, Alice Academic Libraries Cataloging Editing Higher Education Library Standards Occupational Information Policy Position Papers Questionnaires Research Libraries Subject Index Terms Compiled from information and documents gathered during telephone and in-person interviews with Association of Research Library (ARL) member libraries, this publication examines cataloging policies designed to supplement national and network standards and cover situations that are not addressed at the national level. A concise summary discusses standards for copy editing, minimal-level cataloging (MLC) to reduce backlogs and provide access to material, local policies for authority work, and policies for retrospective conversion. Documents provided in the kit include: (1) standards for copy editing from the University of Arizona, Iowa State University, and Northwestern University; (2) standards for minimum cataloging from Northwestern University and a report on minimal-level cataloging from the University of Michigan; (3) a memorandum on subject heading policy from Northwestern University; and (4) a statement on professional responsibilities of the cataloging department from Duke University. An ARL Systems and Procedures Exchange Center (SPEC) evaluation form is also included. (KM)
