Scope Changes • We’re so glad you appreciate the AC Program! • No longer in scope for the CIP Program: • Phonics books
Phonics Books • One set of phonics books may be great • Two sets may be okay • Three sets from the same author every year or two? Ouch!
Scope Changes • We’re so glad you appreciate the AC Program! • No longer in scope for the CIP Program: • Phonics books • Repackaged editions
Repackaged Editions • Books previously sold separately • Not new editions • Put together in a box, an ark, a haunted house, etc. • Packaged with a necklace or toy
Scope Changes • We’re so glad you appreciate the AC Program! • No longer in scope for the CIP Program: • Phonics books • Repackaged editions • Tie-ins
Tie-Ins to Movies, Toys, Etc. • One film may generate dozens of derivative books • TV shows produce even more • Barbie is featured in hundreds of books • Don’t forget various candies and other foods
Scope Changes • We’re so glad you appreciate the AC Program! • No longer in scope for the CIP Program: • Phonics books • Repackaged editions • Tie-ins • No longer in scope for AC treatment • Publishers’ reading sets • Materials unlikely to be widely acquired for organized collections
Widely acquired by libraries? • Publishers’ readings sets are for classroom use • Some books have a very small audience • Local interest • Family stories
Good News! • We have our first CIP Partner for juvenile materials • The publishers’ summaries that are so often provided help tremendously, especially on those publishers’ reading sets
A New Initiative • The Policy and Standards Division is looking into adding validation records for AC headings, and considering what those records will look like – including LCC and/or DDC, for example.
Comments or Questions Parties outside the Library interested in providing input on the validation records initiative are invited to email policy@loc.gov Questions about the AC Program and our CIP cataloging can be directed to amur@loc.gov
