[LM_NET] Question about written policy for cataloging materials

[Becky Thomson <TArtes@AOL.COM>]

I am a  graduate student in the School Library Media Program at McDaniel 
College in  Westminster, MD.  I am taking the cataloging course this semester and 
our  first assignment is to connect with other experienced library media  
specialists using a list serve and ask the following  question. 
What  are the reasons and importance of having a written technical processing 
policy  for cataloging materials? Should the policy list specifics for 
different grade  levels?  I am especially interested  in the middle school level. 
Any sample policies will be most  helpful.    
Thank you,
