9. Widely acquired by libraries? Publishers readings sets are for classroom use Some books have a very small audience Local interest Family stories

10. Good News! We have our first CIP Partner for juvenile materials The publishers summaries that are so often provided help tremendously, especially on those publishers reading sets

11. A New Initiative The Policy and Standards Division is looking into adding validation records for AC headings, and considering what those records will look like – including LCC and/or DDC, for example.
