Cataloging Project
Increases Awareness of Government Publications
Regular GEORGE users will notice an increasing number of U.S. government publications coming up in their results. The Government Documents department in cooperation with the Cataloging department has been working for the past two years to catalog Lauinger's government documents collection in GEORGE, the online catalog. Though the project is still underway, a great many of the publications of interest to the Georgetown community are now in GEORGE. Publications from the Bureau of the Census, Congress, and the Departments of Commerce, Defense, Energy, and Education, as well as all materials received since November 1994 are now included in GEORGE. This cataloging project will greatly improve researchers awareness of the essential resources in the Government Documents collection. For example, a user searching GEORGE for information on U.S. foreign relations with Russia will retrieve records for congressional hearings, Defense and State department publications, in addition to books from the main stacks. The integration of cataloging records for government documents will reduce the mystery which often surrounds government publications and researchers will be introduced to resources they may have never realized existed. Stop by the Government Documents department or call 687-7467 for more information. |
