Bibliographic Control Committee

Purpose:
To maintain formal channels of communication among music catalogers, between music catalogers and the Library of Congress, and with other groups requiring carefully formulated positions on bibliographic control of music materials. The Committee is responsible for articulating and communicating official MLA proposals and responses in the area of bibliographic control. It thus participates in maintaining and revising international codes for descriptive cataloging (including authority work), formats and standards for the electronic transmission of data, and subject and classification schemes for music materials.
