Monographic Services Division

The Monographic Services Division is one of two technical services units within the Resource Acquisitions and Description/Information Technology Services department of the University of Washington Libraries. The Division acquires and catalogs monographs and integrating resources for all three University campuses, as well as Cascadia Community College, in most formats, languages and subjects. It also creates digital collections, provides subject analysis and authority work for them, and plays a leading role in setting cataloging policy and in developing metadata standards and applications within the Libraries.

(Aside from the acquisitions and cataloging done within the Division, some acquisitions and cataloging are decentralized within the Libraries. The acquisitions and cataloging of CJK materials are done in the East Asia Library. The Serials Services Division acquires and catalogs serial publications. International Studies sections acquire materials in vernacular scripts and often perform simple copy cataloging. In addition, the Government Publications Division receives cataloging records from Marcive for its U.S. depository collection. Finally, the Gallagher Law Library on the Seattle campus is a separate administrative unit and is responsible for its own acquisitions and cataloging.)
