<p class="MsoNormal">The Policy and Standards Division has published a draft of the
<i>Genre/Form Terms Manual</i>, the instruction manual for <i>Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms for Library and Archival Materials</i> (LCGFT). The manual consists of guidelines and instructions for assigning genre/form terms and proposing new ones, as well
as for proposing revisions to existing terms. It replaces the informal and occasionally ad-hoc guidelines for assigning genre/form terms that have been in place since the project to develop LCGFT began in 2007.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Special thanks go to the <span style="color:black">ALA/ALCTS Subject Analysis Committee’s Subcommittee on Genre/Form Implementation, which edited an early draft of the
<i>Manual</i>.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
