<P style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto" class=MsoNormal>The group was chaired by Matthew Haugen and was asked to provide clear guidelines for PCC catalogers to achieve a consistent bibliographic and authority database with respect to access points for expressions. They were asked to:</P>
<P style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto" class=MsoNormal>1. Prepare a policy recommendation and supporting PCC guidelines to describe when and how to create authorized access points for expressions, and when and how to create authority records supporting those authorized access points, including a recommendation on the use of Field 336 in expression-level authority records.</P>
<P style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto" class=MsoNormal>2. Frame the guidelines within a definition and description of the problem so that both the concept and the implementation details will be understood by the PCC and broader professional community.</P>
<P style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto" class=MsoNormal>3. Recommend an implementation strategy (including a rationale/explanation) and timetable for these guidelines.</P>Because of Hurricane Sandy, the annual Policy Committee meeting in DC in early November had to be canceled and we have been having a series of phone conferences to cover our work there. This report has been discussed and recently endorsed and is now going out to you for comment. Please read the document carefully. Any comments you wish to make can be sent to the PCC Secretariat at <A href="mailto:coop@loc.gov" target=_blank>coop@loc.gov</A>. Considering the Thanks giving holiday, I would appreciate all comments by Friday, December 14<SUP>th</SUP>, 2012. This should allow us time to make any necessary adjustments and put the recommendations into practice by the end of the year. All the best.<BR><BR>Philip<BR><PRE class=moz-signature>--
