1999 edition of KE (Canada) and the 1998 edition of K(General) are now available from CDS. K is the first law schedule that will use the new K form tables described below.

Paul Weiss from LC's CPSO reports that K Tables: Form Division Tables for Law has been published and is available from CDS. LC expects to start using the new tables May 17. The new tables do not apply to KD, KE and KF. There is a conversion table showing the old table numbers and the corresponding new K table numbers. Future editions of the K schedules will include the proper table references. More information about this can be found on the CPSO homepage: http://lcweb.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/.

Jolande Goldberg from LC's CPSO will be distributing KBR (History of Canon Law) and the KB partially developed draft outline to her reviewers in Italy for evaluation in early May.

We hope to pass along information from Jolande and others at LC regarding the application of KZ/JZ from time to time. KZ and JZ are works in U.N. bodies (KZ5005.2), for language rules (KZ4999.5), for election law (KZ5004). How do we determine where the work on parliamentary law for several bodies should class? We look for patterns – in the JZ United Nations section, in KJE organizational law, in the K country schedules constitutional law sections. There are similarities in these sections even though they are not exactly the same. KJE has language rules and legislative power under institutions and organs (KJE5305-5307). KZ has language rules under intra-organizational relations not under bodies ((KZ5005.2). KF has rules and procedures numbers under legislative branch. The parliamentary law title should class in a new number in either the KZ5005.2 general works area or after KZ4999.5, the language rules area.. We may end up being like the cataloger and the light bulb and have to wait for LC to tell us what to do. We could propose one solution or the other and see if it is accepted or rejected by LC.
