On July 1, 2014, the sale of all remaining inventory of CDS print publications will end. The printing of new editions of subject heading and classification documentation has now ceased, and all new editions and updates will be freely available on LC’s Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access website(http://www.loc.gov/aba). Documentation will continue to be available through Cataloger’s Desktop, LC’s subscription-based online documentation service.+---------------Nina M.
