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

Background

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 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
