Summary: Instructions for cataloging government documents produced by international bodies & countries.

International gov docs are given gov doc date stamps by Acquisitions before being routed into cataloging workflows. No additional stickers or stamps are needed. Materials are generally routed as follows:

• Monographs → copy cataloging or cat sep shelves
• Serials → adds to CatMan (currently Lynn); new titles to a serials cataloger (Loretta Fiacco, Emily Sanford, or Joshua Barton)
• Hybrids → gov doc hybrid shelf

Monographs and serials treatment

• assign appropriate LC call number 
• use location rs

Hybrids treatment

These are analyzed issues of serial titles, but the usual cross-linking between a main serial bib and monographic bibs for each issue is not performed. Essentially, just catalog like a monograph, but use a assign the call number as if the piece were a serial analytic. Only old titles are treated this way. New titles are handled as cat seps.

• catalog serial issue as monograph
• include 490/830 with serial title 
• assign serial call number
  • already written on the streamer
  • add caption numbering to call number
• use location rs
