I am forwarding this from another listserv as it concerns an important subject namely: Library of Congress decision to stop creating series authority records. See below my signature -- Sybil Finemel Library Director MLIS.CIO. Los Angeles CA Contributor, lii.org, Librarians' Index to the Internet http://lii.org/ Virtual Reference Desk Volunteer 24/7 Reference Librarian. sfinemel@comcast.net "Manners are of more importance than laws. Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in." Edmund Burke (1729-1797) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Subject: Online Petition to Prevent the Library of Congress From Abandoning the Creation of Series Authority Records Hello, Please forgive any duplication. I have used Elaine Sanchez's petition (with some editing and with her permission) to create an online petition. I thought it would be easier to collect more signatures this way. I would like to have all signatures by 3:00 PM EST on Friday, May 5. After that I will e-mail and snail-mail the petition to the members of the House/Senate Committee on the Library of Congress, Beacher Wiggins, James H. Billington, and possibly others if there are suggestions. Any who wishes to, may print this petition and mail it to your congressional representatives. To access the petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/MARC830/petition.html Please cross post and share!
