I am
leased to welcome this first iwssue of Virgin Islands Government
Docu
ts, a quarterly checklist of local government Publications received
by 9 posit9ry libraries.

By the passage of legislation creating deposit6ry libraries, the Govern-
ment of the Virgin Islands recognizes its committment to preserve our his
tory and our heritage. By establishing depositories on all 'three islands, it
further recognizes its responsibility to make these records accessible and,
vavailable to the. public.
a
We hope_that the' ystematic building of collections of Virgin Islands
goverriment"publication
as well 'as the maintaining of an already existing
collection, will encoue
researchers, teachers, and students to explore
the many areas of governmespt that have yet to be documented. We further
hope that the depository collections will provide "invaluableeource material
and historical record's for Virgin Islanders of the,future.

PREFACE
Virgin Wands government publi
tions constitute one of the major
resources available to the community In recent years we have seen a gr;at..,
proliferation of documents produced y Virgin Islands government agencies,
accompanied by a cor sponding ne
by 'the public for access to the great
quantity of information
uced. It is in response to this need that
the Bureau of Libraries is pleased to initiate thji publication of a check-
list of territorial government documents.
The purpose.of this publication is to prov,ide a Comprehensive guide to
the government documents resources of the territory, and to thereby avail
the public and interested scholars of *the tremendous cultural and informa-
tional resources represented by the vast numbers of Virgin Islands govern-
ment publications. Special emphasis is placed upon encouraging the derloti-
ment of a cooperative territory-wide network for Overnment documents
1
sources. This checklist of Virgin Islands gOvernment documents hopefully'
-
will serve as an impetus for this network.
The need for this checklist is an imMediate one, as there currently
exists no comparable list dealing with documents resources in the Virgin
Islands. The systematic collecting of 'public documents not only makes
availabie government sources to scholars and the general public but also
ensures their preservation as historical .records. Although, the Bureau has
'been active in this area for. many years, new depository library legislation
makes
possible for us to build and maintain a better and more complete
collection, as lye!! as to provide more comprehensive service to the govern-
ment and people of the Virgin Islands. The depository law also provides for
a records management program to be admitistered through the Bureau.
Unfortunately, fiscal restrictions have made it impossible to implement this
program although there are'plans to do so in the near future. In view of the
fact that We have carried out this project without any additional financial
support, the projeCt staff, particularly Ms. Jeannette Allis, should be com-
mended for their fine work.
We are pleased to provide Virgin Islandkgovernment agencies and the
ge'neral public with this valuable research- tool. We hope that this check-
list and the succeeding issues thereof will encourage 'scholarly work in the
area of Virgin Islands history and government; we are very proud to be able
to offer a contribution-to these worthy endeavors.

This checklist of 'Virgin Islands public documents is arranged by classification number. The
classification .scheme reflects the government organization, by Departments, Instrumentalities, and
Boards and Commissions rather
of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of
government. It was felt that preserrvi
the integrity of The various govei-nment units by specific
function and authority would facilitate identification, accessibility, .and wability to the public.
Each Departmen't is assigned two letters in an alphabetical sequence preceded by V for Virgin
Islands. Divisions within each Department are assigned numbers based on a.notation table. A docu-
ment is fu'rthe; divided by type of material. (i.e annual report, newsletter), and by title or year, ,(see
appendix 2).
For example:

In accordance with the classification scheme, items in the checklist are listed under Department
and arranged by Division or Bureau with these being in alphabetical order by key word. It is the in-
tention of the Depository Center to issue separately a comprehenive, annotated guide to the Virgin
Islands Government,which should facilitate use of the documents.
A note beneath an entry indicates its location. No note means that the item iavailable in all

The listing of entries is followed by a Subject Index, and an Author/Title In4x. Intboth indexes,
the entry is keyed to the classification number of the document. The Subject Index utilizes LikariOf
Congress Subject Headings which are reflected in the card catalogues of the depository libraries, as are
the Author/Title entries.
.,
Where more than one issue of a' serial has been accessioned in any one quarterly period, each issue
is listed separately under tkentry. Theentries.and issues will reflect not only items currently received
but also older documeNts which are already part of the Documents collection but are now being made...
part of the Depository. For example., Annual' Reports for the Department of Educ.-"- listed-in this
issue include, not only the ?host current report, bu-t also those going back to 1922.
Where the frequency of a serial is notself-evident from its title, this information is provided
as
part of the entry. An illu-st-r--ation'not(k and "pagination is also included. For more extenve information
about a publication, the card catalog at any of the depository libraries should be consu ted.

VIRGIN IsLANo& DOCUMENTS CLASSIFICATION SCHEME
The Virgin Islands Documents Classification (VIDC) is adapted from
the Superintendent of Documents Classification, and the Classification
Scheme for Pennsylvania State Publications. The Classification notation
is composed of a combination of letters and numbers.
The first part of the VIDC consists of one or two letters to distinguish
the issuing Department or Agency, preceded by 'a V to -identify Virgin
Islands, i.e.
VAD = Virgin Islands Department of AgPiculture.
VLE =
Virgin Islands Legislature, VGO = Office of the Governor.'
The next part of the notation designates the Division or Bureau within
the department that is directly responsible for the publication.
A publication issued by the department as a whole or by the Com-
missioner's Office receives a 1.
A publication issued by a division or a burea,receives two digits
derived from the first two letters of the name of the division and based
on the following tables:

Following the period, comes,the number for series form. The following
numbers are assigned to series forms:

-

4:
Circulars
5:
Laws (administered by the agency and published by it)
6:
Regulations, rules and instructions
7:

A root number is thereby created consisting of Department, Division, and
type -of publication, i.e. VCD 1.1: ,= Annual Report of the Department of
Commerce.

I
,
For publications with no distinctive title, dates or series numbers are
added to this root number, i.e. VCD 1.1:977 = Department of Commerce,
Annual Report for'1977.
Wheh there is a distinctive title, the two tables above are used for la
notation based on the first two letters of the key word of the title. If fprther
distinction is necessary, the first letter of the second word is also used. Since
there may be several titles of series starting with the same,letters, a diagonal
mark " / " is used to separate the first, second, and/or third numbers 41 the
notation, thus keeping the materials as alphabetical as possible.
If the title is part of a series, dates or series numbers may also be added.
example:
Information, v. II, no. 1,
1977, published by the Bureau of Libraries, Mu-
seums and Archaeological Services.
VCN 136.3:10/7/977/no.1
VCN = Department of Conservation
136. = Bureau of Libraries
3: - newsletter (form)
10/7 = Information (title)
977/no.1 = year and number
Instrumentalities are -designated yY followed by the initial letters
of the key word, or an assigned letter and the numbers. Boards and Com-
missions are designated VX.
For example:
VYCV42 = College of the Virgin Islands, Caribbean Research Institute.
As the collection. expands and as changes occur in the government
structure, it may become necessary to adapt the rules outlined above. Al-
though it is expected that some discrepancies will develop, it is hoped
that the VIDC will be able to accommodate most of these changes without
major adjustments.
