Library and Archives Canada - Cataloguing and Metadata (view source)

This shared cataloguing environment allows LAC to leverage the contributions from other libraries to improve the efficiency of its own processes. However, as a consequence, LAC has relinquished some control over the cataloguing metadata it creates.

===Principles===
The present version of the policy on levels of cataloguing treatment is a response to LAC’s current bibliographic context. It recognizes the need to address the growing accumulation of publications received through various channels of acquisition and the limited resources available to catalogue them fully, while maintaining the programmes and services that are considered priorities for LAC and its stakeholders.
<br>
Concretely, this policy considers:
*resource capacity
::The Description Division has seen a significant reduction in staff since the last revision of the policy. Consequently, the present policy provides for a significant reduction in overall cataloguing work to reflect the change in capacity.
*growth of the backlog
::Each year, LAC acquires more publications than Description Division staff can fully catalogue. Consequently, the present policy provides for a significant reduction of overall cataloguing work to decelerate the growth of the cataloguing backlog.
*LAC’s priority programmes and services
