In 2008, the Policy and Standards Division (PSD) published a new edition of the former Subject Cataloging Manual: Shelflisting, combined into a single physical volume with the former Subject Cataloging Manual: Classification. The new edition has the title Classification and Shelflisting Manual and is now available both in print form and in Cataloger's Desktop.
The shelflisting portion of the manual was reorganized into two sections: General, and LC-Specific Information. Many of the instruction sheets were renumbered and relocated. G 60 was split into five separate instruction sheets. Fourteen instruction sheets were deleted because they reflect internal LC procedures that have changed since the introduction of the LC ILS in 1999. Most of the remaining instruction sheets were updated to correct errors or remove obsolete information. The tables below show the disposition of instruction sheets that were renumbered or deleted.
