Program For Cooperative Cataloging Publishes Strategic Directions 2015-2017

The Program For Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) (based at the Library of Congress) is (in their words):

…an international cooperative effort aimed at expanding access to library collections by providing useful, timely, and cost-effective cataloging that meets mutually-accepted standards of libraries around the world.

Programs include:

• Monographic Bibliographic Record Cooperative Program (BIBCO)

• Cooperative Online Serials Program (CONSER)

• Name Authority Cooperative Program (NACO)

• Subject Authority Cooperative Program (SACO)

PCC published a five page document that includes their vision statement, mission statement, and a set of strategic directions for 2015-2017.

The full text doc is available here (PDF).
