The first official publication of U.S. treaties and international agreements is through the Treaties and Other International Acts Series (TIAS). Treaties are found at the U.S. Department of State Web site Treaties and Other International Acts Series (TIAS).
Treaties are numbered with a two digit chronological designation for the year of publication by TIAS followed by a Department of State assigned number (e.g. 12-101).
Treaties in this series are cataloged in electronic format only at full level. All treaties must be established in the LC name authority file.

Senate Treaty Document Series (Y 1.1/4:)
Bibliographic records in this series use the treaty as the authorized access point for the work manifested, usually in the MARC 130 field. In other words, enter the resource being cataloged under the authorized access point for the treaty that it contains (not under the President, Department of State, or Senate). The authorized access point for this treaty will be found in the name authority record for the treaty, which the cataloger will either retrieve, update, or create. Catalog titles in this series based on previous treatment. Examples: OCLC *970696259, *970693240, *880353286, *880353331, *848927424
