Borgo Cataloging Guides are written by catalogers for catalogers. These guides provide surveys of cataloging practice and science in the Library of Congress classification scheme. Each book surveys a specific subject area, with comprehensive coverage of the actual subject headings and classification numbers.
This question was largely settled when the Library of Congress agreed to accept
AACR2 in 1980, since LC generates the cataloging records which most large
American libraries (particularly in academe) follow. It was only later that the
library world discovered, much to its collective dismay, that LC's adoption of
AACR2 was somewhat conditional, in that, under long-established LC policy,
books were not recataloged retroactively, and main entries which should have
been changed ...

With striking visuals from the Library of Congress' unparalleled archive, THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS ILLUSTRATED TIMELINE OF THE CIVIL WAR is an authoritative and engaging narrative of the domestic conflict that determined the course of American history. A detailed chronological timeline of the war captures the harrowing intensity of 19th-century warfare in first-hand accounts from soldiers, nurses, and front-line journalists. Readers will be enthralled by speech drafts in Lincoln's own hand, quotes from the likes of Frederick Douglass and Robert E. Lee, and portraits of key soldiers and politicians who are not covered in standard textbooks. The Illustrated Timeline's exciting new source material and lucid organization will give Civil War enthusiasts a fresh look at this defining period in our nation's history.

AudioVisual Conservation in Culpeper, Virginia, which houses 6.2 million moving

This two-volume collection of folktales represents some of the finest examples of American oral tradition. Drawn from the largest archive of American folk culture, the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, this set comprises magic tales, legends, jokes, tall tales and personal narratives, many of which have never been transcribed before, much less published, in a sweeping survey. Eminent folklorist and award-winning author Carl Lindahl selected and transcribed over 200 recording sessions - many from the 1920s and 1930s - that span the 20th century, including recent material drawn from the September 11 Project. Included in this varied collection are over 200 tales organized in chapters by storyteller, tale type or region, and representing diverse American cultures, from Appalachia and the Midwest to Native American and Latino traditions. Each chapter begins by discussing the storytellers and their oral traditions before presenting and introducing each tale, making this collection accessible to high school students, general readers or scholars.
Perhaps the most important mission of the Library of Congress is to cultivate and
sustain an American Memory. Numerous Library offices devote themselves to
chronicling the public lives and acts of the official leaders of this country the
presidents, senators, Supreme Court justices, as well as the major legal and
institutional developments that we have come to regard as the highlights of our
history For all the importance of these institutional memories, the Library of
Congress is made ...

"The Library of Congress collections comprise nearly 300 items, including letters dating from 1829 to shortly before his death, the vast majority of which have not previously appeared in print, while those that have been published are sometimes incomplete or incorrectly dated. This publication presents one of the most wide-ranging sources of first-hand information on the composer not yet made public."--BOOK JACKET.

Further, we urge the Library's leadership to re-dedimte itself to cooperative
cataloging programs and cooperative standards efforts, in which both the Library
of Congress and partner libraries can benefit from standards established together
. All parmers benefit from sharing standards and training; the result is a more
effective and efficient copy cataloguing process for all partners when accepting
copy from trusted sources. ALA and others in the library community stand ready
to work with ...
