[Steven Arakawa]

Issue 4 2005 of the Cataloger's Desktop is now available on the web.

What's new:

1. Big news for map catalogers--Cartographic Materials manual is now 
available on the Desktop!

2. NACO Participant's Manual, 3rd ed. is now available on the Desktop! (In 
HTML not PDF! --so you can use jump links to the RIs)

3. LCRI Update 2, 2005, which due to a scheduling problem did not make the 
previous issue of the Desktop, is now included. No RI on 2.5C3 (colored 
illustrations).

4. The Subject Cataloging Manual is now updated through August 2005.

Note also that there is an announcement about revising of SCM:Shelflisting 
which will be combined with SCM: Classification; this is still in progress.
