The Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) seeks to be a democratic and diverse organization whose mission and goals are determined by its membership.

PCC is a cooperative cataloging venture wherein members contribute bibliographic records and related data under a common set of standards and conventions using the bibliographic utilities.
