Between Dec 19, 2024 and Jan 2, 2025, datasets can be submitted to DRUM but will not be processed until after the break. Staff will not be available to answer email during this period, and will not be able to provide DOIs until after Jan 2. If you are in need of a DOI during this period, consider Dryad or OpenICPSR. Submission responses to the UDC may also be delayed during this time.
Indexing Standards and Guidelines for Bibliographic Records, Section F of the Standards & Guidelines for Automated Library Systems, originally approved in September 1998, was developed to specify requirements for three aspects of automated library systems: types of searches; MARC data elements indexed; and system features for accessing indexed data. The revision of these guidelines prepared by the Indexing Standards Working Group in 2004 and completed in 2005 continues to concentrate on these three areas.
