Charge

The Task Force on Specific Material Designations (SMDs) is charged to write a background paper on SMDs. This paper should focus on the principles, purposes, and structures of the SMDs, the relation of SMD terms to natural language (terms in common use), and the relation of the SMDs to other parts of the description.

The Task Force’s preliminary report should be sent to the CC:DA chair by February 15, 2004 so that the preliminary report can be shared with the other constituencies represented in the JSC prior to the JSC meeting in Ottawa. A draft discussion paper should be submitted by May 15, 2004, for discussion at the ALA Annual Conference.
