SAC Subcommittee on Form Headings/Subdivisions
Implementation, 1996-2000

CHARGE:

Work with interested and involved parties on the widespread implementation and use of "explicitly coded" form data in bibliographic databases (the subfield v and the 655 field). The subcommittee should serve to coordinate interested parties including thesauri and subject heading list publishers (LC, NLM, AAT, MTP), bibliographic utilities, local system vendors, authority control vendors, OPAC researchers, and other ALA committees including MARBI and the ALCTS Catalog Form and Function Committee. The committee should publicize the availability of the explicitly coded form tagging and encourage implementation. The continued need for the committee should be re-examined by SAC no later than 1998.
