The U.S. Government Publishing Office GPO Cataloging Guidelines are regularly updated. GPO provides cataloging guidelines for bibliographic cataloging, name authorities, subject cataloging and other metadata schemes and lists the standards GPO applies in cataloging. GPO is a member of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging Program (PCC), whose programs define high quality cataloging standards for members who contribute bibliographic records and related data to bibliographic utilities and also contribute to the National Authority File. Questions on GPO-specific practices in the guidelines are submitted through askGPO indicating “Cataloging: Policies & Practices” in the subject area and answers are archived and searchable.
The Superintendent of Documents Classification Guidelines were developed by staff in the U.S. Government Publishing Office in 2017, Library Services and Content Management, Library Technical Services section, with assistance from other staff.
