I am happy to announce that CYAC at the Library of Congress recently launched a new web site at: http://www.loc.gov/aba/cyac. I encourage everyone to visit the site and review the documents and resources.
For your information, CYAC (pronounced kayak) is the Children’s and Young Adults’ Cataloging Program at the Library of Congress. The Children's Literature Section, under the United States and Publisher Liaison Division (USPL), is responsible for administering the CYAC Program. The program provides cataloging for material published in the United States for children and young adults, and tailors the cataloging to meet the specific needs of our primary users, school and public libraries. The site provides descriptive and subject cataloging practices followed by the CYAC Program as well as other resources for the cataloging of children’s literature.
If you have questions about the web site or need further information about the Children's and Young Adults' Cataloging Program, please contact Linda Geisler, Section Head, Library of Congress, Literature Section at 202-707-0116 or by email at lgei@loc.gov.
