Scope Changes We’re so glad you appreciate the AC
Program! No longer in scope for the CIP Program:
Phonics books
Phonics Books One set of phonics
books may be great
Two sets may be okay
Three sets from the same author every year or two? Ouch!
Scope Changes We’re so glad you appreciate the AC
Program! No longer in scope for the CIP Program:
Phonics books Repackaged editions
Repackaged Editions Books previously
sold separately Not new editions Put together in a
box, an ark, a haunted house, etc.
Packaged with a necklace or toy

Program! No longer in scope for the CIP Program:

generate dozens of derivative books
TV shows produce even more

Scope Changes We’re so glad you appreciate the AC
Program! No longer in scope for the CIP Program:
Phonics books Repackaged editions Tie-ins
No longer in scope for AC treatment Publishers’ reading sets Materials unlikely to be widely acquired for
organized collections
Widely acquired by libraries? Publishers’
readings sets are for classroom use
Some books have a very small audience Local interest Family stories
Good News!
We have our first CIP Partner for juvenile materials
The publishers’ summaries that are so often provided help tremendously, especially on those publishers’ reading sets
A New Initiative
The Policy and Standards Division is looking into adding validation records for AC headings, and considering what those records will look like – including LCC and/or DDC, for example.
Comments or Questions
Parties outside the Library interested in providing input on the validation records initiative are invited to email [email protected]
