Abstract

Many librarians question the usefulness of the traditional cataloging of difficult historic sets in a time when more and more information moves to either to the Internet or is digitized outright. One of the most challenging sets to catalog is the U.S. Congressional Serial Set, a 14,000 + (and growing) mega serial comprised of five monographic sub-series. The Congressional Serial Set is an anomaly since it is both monographic and serial in nature. This article examines the intricacies in cataloging government publications in an electronic atmosphere using one House document in the Serial Set as a guide and examines the two commercial digitization projects currently underway.
