BACKGROUND:  The 2nd edition of the Subject Cataloging Manual: Shelflisting was published in 1995.  That edition has been revised to separate general information on shelflisting from instructions that refer specifically to Library of Congress processing procedures and are relevant only to Library of Congress staff (G 610-G 810).  This instruction shows the disposition of many instruction sheets that had been included in the 2nd edition of the manual.  The ILS Supplement mentioned in this list is an internal document distributed only to Library of Congress staff.
