July 2002
Virginia Kass, Copyright Security Manager, and Debra McKern, Program Director, Baseline Inventory Program were cochairs of the JIG-L group.
The Library of Congress Joint Issue Group on Labelling (JIG-L), comprised of members from the Library Services and U.S. Copyright Office service units, in July 2002 produced a report that included labelling recommendations for all collection formats and a draft procedure manual. The report remains of interest as an overview of best practices, particularly in the generation of labels from Library databases in place of keying, stamping, or handwriting, and in adherence to preservation labeling standards.
The Joint Issue Group on Labelling was formed to support work processes of the Library of Congress and to address technical issues of mutual interest that would further the Copyright Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) initiative to make its services more responsive to Congress, the Library, and the public.
