Phonics books

books may be great
Two sets may be okay
Three sets from the same author every year or two? Ouch!

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
