Subject: [Desktop] Cataloger's Desktop 2012 Issue 1 now online

Colleagues:

                I am pleased to report that the 2012 Issue 1 of Cataloger's Desktop is now online.  This issue includes updates to the following resources:

. Descriptive Cataloging Manual (2012 Update 1)
. Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Books) (Corrections)
. Guidelines for Subject Access by National Bibliographic Agencies (November 2011 release)
. Library of Congress Policy Statements (2012 Update 1)
. MARC 21 Format for Authority Data (LC Guidelines)

The issue also includes many other updates that Cataloger's Desktop's web crawler picked up in the process of finalizing this issue.

                Beginning with 2012 Issue 2 we are adjusting the release date of Cataloger's Desktop to bring it in sync with the RDA Toolkit production schedule.  What this means is that the next issue is scheduled for Tuesday, April 10th.  All subsequent issues will occur on the 2nd Tuesday of the month in three-month intervals.  

                Please let us know if you have any questions or experience any difficulties with 2012 Issue 1 of Cataloger's Desktop.  Thank you for your continued support.
