GODORT's Cataloging Committee has four main purposes:

To provide a forum for technical discussions on policies and practices for government document cataloging; to serve as an interface for information exchange between documents catalogers and documents users in government agencies, various types of libraries, and bibliographic networks; to comment upon matters which affect the cataloging of government documents and to raise such issues as appropriate; and to serve as liaison with other groups within ALA and through GODORT, with Federal agencies, other library associations, and bibliographic networks.

The Committee meets twice a year, at the ALA Midwinter Meeting and Annual Conference, to discuss description and access issues with representatives of government agencies and GODORT's liaison to CC:DA. The Committee maintains three resource "toolboxes" to assist those cataloging and processing government publications.

With field 440 becoming obsolete, some are asking "How are you dealing with $x ISSN in the 440's that isn't legal in the 8xx?" To address this, the proposal suggests adding information associated with the Series Added Entry fields (800-830).
