Hello,
LC issued this announcement this morning:
04/7/2025: The Library of Congress (LC) is reducing work on LC vocabularies until the staff in the Library Collections and Services Group (LCSG) have successfully moved from Voyager to the Library's new system, Folio. The move to Folio is a mission critical system migration, and the Policy, Training, and Cooperative Programs (PTCP) Division is responsible for organizing and providing training for all Library staff on the new system.Because the Folio transition will require significant time and labor from PTCP staff, routine monthly list work on all vocabularies will be paused with immediate effect. However, CIP proposals, and select proposals from LC staff, will continue to move forward on greatly streamlined lists. Select internal projects will continue during this phase, but external projects will also be paused.The Folio migration is anticipated to go live in summer 2025. It is our intention to restart our regular monthly list work operations as soon as possible after the migration. A pause to any of our routine operations is not a decision we make lightly, and we ask for your patience and understanding as we transform our systems.
Best,
R
