Subject: [Desktop] Cataloger's Desktop 2011 Issue 2 released

Colleagues:

	We are pleased to report that 2011 Issue 2 of Cataloger's Desktop was released over the weekend.  Among the changes in this issue are:

New resources:
* GeoNames 
* PCC Guidelines for Creating Bibliographic Records in Multiple Character Sets 
* Understanding MARC Holdings Records 

Revised resources: 
* CONSER Editing Guide, Update 20 
* Descriptive Cataloging Manual, 2011 Update 2 
* Free-Floating Subdivisions, 23rd edition 
* Subject Headings Manual, Update 1, February 2011

	Please note that there is a change with Descriptive Cataloging Manual (DCM). Prior to this issue DCM was split into 2 sections: a section that was available only to LC catalogers, and a section available to all.  This distinction was reflected in the resource title, but it caused confusion to many because of extensive interlinking between the 2 sections. As of this issue, all DCM sections have been consolidated into a single resource that is available to all.

	Please let us know if there is anything we can do to improve the Cataloger's Desktop service. Thank you very much for your continued support.
