Description 

The Monthly Catalog is a primary, historic bibliographic resource for Federal Government information. Bibliographic metadata from 1895-1976 has been transformed into MARC format and is now available in GPO’s Catalog of U.S. Government Publications (CGP) as the Historic Monthly Catalog. In this webinar, you will see examples of records and search functionality. You may also pick up tips on how you can use the information to find Government resources, inventory collections, reclass publications, and more.
