Adding holdings to the Online Catalog's records for each title is a massive undertaking. Beginning October 1, 1999, Library staff will be checking in new serial issues as they are received, starting with a few titles and then gradually adding more until all current receipts are checked in.

The Library of Congress completes bibliographic cataloging for materials that are collected by LC which provides for the identification, description, and access to items in the collections.
