<font face="arial" size=2 color="#000080">As an official SAA standard,
DACS has already replaced APPM. Council voted in February to approve DACS
as the professional standard for archival descriptive content. Each
archival repository should begin the transition to the new guidelines as
soon as feasible. Compliance with the new standard is, of course
voluntary, and there will be no archival cataloging police to enforce it.
Those repositories participating in network systems or utilities such as
OCLC or RLIN should seek guidance from the network administrators.<br>
