What happens if I start getting records with these fields in them from our bibliographic provider (because I can). They are just there right as long as they are in the frameworks? And can be hidden from the OPAC. If they need to be edited what then? Authorized values or just regular text editing?

Richard Yarnall, Section Head U.S. Government Documents Section U.S./Anglo Division Library of Congress 101 Independence Ave., SE Washington, D.C. 20540-4274 r...@loc.gov 202-707-9470 202-707-9474 202-707-0380, fax "I'm pleased to introduce the newest issue of LCCN, the electronic journal of the Library of Congress Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Directorate. LCCN was the first e-journal to be issued by the Library of Congress. It was first published in January 1993 and ran until June 2008. After a hiatus of nearly four years, we are reviving the publication in order to share informal news and background stories from LC's technical processing staff with the library community. Policy updates and other official news will continue to be posted on our Cataloging and Acquisitions Website at http://www.loc.gov/aba/ The Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Directorate is a very different place in April 2012 than it was in June 2008. We have completely redesigned our workflows and merged acquisitions and cataloging tasks; tested and agreed to implement RDA: Resource Description and Access in conjunction with the other U.S. national libraries, probably in March 2013; and begun inputting metadata in original scripts directly to our integrated library system. As staffing has decreased from 600 in 2008 to just under 500 employees today, "ABA" is a leaner, more efficient organization. We proved that assertion by our record-high cataloging production in 2010 and 2011 and record acquisitions in 2011. Moreover, a career in technical processing at LC is more challenging and intriguing than ever, as LCCN's new series "A Day in the Life of ..." shows. Welcome to the new LCCN! Beacher J.
